While the battery is charging, “Connecting” and the battery indicator () are displayed in an animation.

^*1 If the IC recorder cannot be connected to a computer directly, use the supplied USB connection support cable.

^*2 This is an approximation for the time it takes to charge from no remaining battery power to full battery power at room temperature. It varies depending on the remaining power and the condition of the battery. It also takes more time if the temperature of the battery is low, or if the battery is charged while you are transferring data to the IC recorder.
