Sony IC Recorder ICD-70 Mode D'emploi page 7

Clock setting display appears when you insert batteries for the first time,
or when you insert batteries after the unit has been without batteries for a
certain period of time. Please refer to Steps 2 to 4 in "Step 2: Setting the
Clock" on page 8 to set the date and time.
Note
Make sure to close the lid completely. Otherwise the unit will not operate.
Charging the clock battery
Before using the IC recorder for the first time, or if you have not used the
unit for a long time, you first need to charge the built-in clock battery.
Install the batteries in the battery compartment and leave them for more
than one day. The clock battery will be automatically charged. (You can
use the unit while charging.) If you remove the batteries while charging
the clock battery, the unit will be reset to the initial setting. Once you have
charged the clock battery, you do not have to recharge it, as long as
batteries are installed. When the clock battery is recharged, settings such as
clock setting are maintained for about 3 minutes.
Replacing the battery
"i" appears on the display when the batteries become weak and it flashes
when the batteries are exhausted. Replace the batteries with new ones.
Battery life
Sony alkaline batteries LR03 (SG)
approx. 1.5 months*
* When recording in LIGHT OPR mode for 2 minutes and playing back for 3
minutes every day.
Notes
• When you replace the batteries, insert new batteries within 3 minutes after
you removed the exhausted ones, otherwise all the settings you have made
will be reset to the initial settings.
The recorded messages, however, will remain.
• When replacing the batteries, be sure to replace both batteries with new ones.
• Do not charge dry batteries.
• When you are not going to use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to
prevent damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
