NOTE
• The figures given here for battery life are the results of in-house testing (When
[LED] is set to [Off]). Actual battery life figures will vary greatly according to the
battery used and usage conditions (Changing the playback speed, or using the
[Noise Cancel] and [Voice Balancer] functions may affect the battery life).
• Battery life will be shorter when using a nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery
that has been used repeatedly.
• Battery life will be shorter when using a microSD card.
