Preparations
You can use a battery pack or AC power via an
AC adaptor.
For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and
AC adaptor listed below:
Lithium-ion Battery Pack
BP-U30/BP-U60/BP-U90
Battery Charger/AC Adaptor
BC-U1/BC-U2
Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Note
The AC adaptor cannot be connected to the recorder
while the battery pack is inserted.
Fully insert the battery pack into the battery pack
receptacle (page 6), then slide it to the right to
lock it.
To remove the battery pack, press and hold the
BATT RELEASE button (page 6), slide the
battery pack to the left to unlock it, then pull it
out.
Notes
• Before use, charge the battery pack with the supplied
BC-U1 or BC-U2 Battery Charger.
• A warm battery pack immediately after use may not be
able to be fully recharged.
• The high-capacity BP-U90 Battery Pack is large, and
protrudes from the recorder when attached.
Checking battery charge remaining
When recording or playback is in progress on the
battery pack, an icon to show the current battery
charge level and usage time remaining are
displayed on the LCD monitor (page 9).
The recorder indicates the remaining usage time
in minutes if operation is continued at the current
rate of power consumption.
If the battery charge remaining becomes
low
If the battery charge remaining decreases to a
certain level during operation (Low BATT
status), a low-battery message, flashing of the
tally lamps, and a beep sound will warn you.
If the remaining further decreases to a level at
which operation cannot be continued (BATT
Empty status), a battery-empty message appears.
Replace the battery pack with one that is fully
charged.
To change the message levels
The “Low BATT” level is set to 10% of full
charge, and the “BATT Empty” level is set to 3%
of full charge at the factory. These settings can be
changed with [Battery Alarm] (page 57) in the
[OTHERS] menu.
