U.S.A.: supplied/Other models: not supplied) with

correct polarity and close the lid.

Notes

•Do not charge a dry battery.

•Do not use a new battery with an old one.

Rechargeable Batteries (supplied to TCM-

454VK only)

Before using the rechargeable batteries, charge them with

the supplied battery charger adaptor and AC power

adaptor.

1 Insert the rechargeable batteries (NC-AA) into the

battery charger adaptor with correct polarity.

2 Connect the AC power adaptor (supplied to TCM-

454VK) to the DC IN 3V jack of the battery charger

adaptor and to the wall outlet.

The power indicator lights up.

3 Unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet

and from the battery charger adaptor after about

eight hours.

Notes

•The power indicator lights in green as long as the AC power

adaptor is plugged to the wall outlet and the DC IN 3V jack,

even when the charging has not been done.

•Use only the supplied or recommended AC power adaptor,

battery charger adaptor and rechargeable batteries.

•The rechargeable batteries can be charged approximately 500

times.

•Do not leave the battery charger adaptor plugged in for more

than 20 hours. Overcharging may damage the rechargeable

batteries.

When to replace the batteries

Replace the batteries

with new ones or charge

the batteries (TCM-

454VK only) when the

BATT lamp dims.

Notes

•After the batteries have been used for a while, the BATT lamp

may flicker with the playback sound when you turn up the

volume; however, this does not mean that you need to replace

the batteries.

•The unit will play back normally for a while even after the

BATT lamp dims. However, replace the batteries as soon as

you can. If you do not, subsequent recording will not be done

correctly.
