Notes on rechargeable battery 466
New rechargeable batteries do not reach full capacity until
they have been recharged several times. For this reason
the operating time for new rechargeable batteries in some
rare cases is less than 3 hours.
When the rechargeable battery* is fully charged, you can
use the dictation machine up to 7 hours (DSS Standard
Play).
The rechargeable batteries’ charge state is shown on the
dictation machine display:
– » « Rechargeable battery* charged;
– » « Rechargeable battery* partly discharged;
– » « Rechargeable battery* weak;
– » « Rechargeable battery* nearly flat.
Note:
The rechargeable battery* must always be fully charged in
the dictation machine to make sure that the real charging
state is displayed.
Before the rechargeable battery* is completely flat a short
warning beep will sound and the rechargeable battery*
symbol »
« will flash on the display. There won't be
a warning signal in the recording mode. You will still be
able to dictate and play-back for a few minutes before the
dictation machine automatically switches off. However,
we recommend either starting the charging process after
the warning beep and the flashing rechargeable battery*
symbol »
« or to use the power supply* to operate the
dictation machine.
The dictation machine’s operating system is ”shut down”
(as for a PC) when it is switched off. Sufficient power must
still be available for this purpose. If, after the dictation
machine has automatically switched off, you switch it back
on again without plugging in the power supply* or if the
rechargeable batteries have not been recharged, your
saved dictations may be permanently lost.
