Hi all,
Just picked up a old cheap Sharp MS-721 today that I plan to take to Africa with me in a week or so to use for field recording. What I wanted to ask is: is it OK to run the unit on a single AA battery, without recharging the Li-ion battery? I ask this because I will be going to some very remote places and will have no hope whatsoever of being able to recharge my battery for weeks/months at a time (I'll be lucky to have running water let alone a power socket!!).
The mannual says "Do not use the unit if it only has an alkaline battery in it", yet later on it gives the specs for recording and playback using only an AA battery...
Has anyone had any experience with this or got any advice? A bit of a boring question, I know, but I would really appreciate some advice, as the places I am leaving for in about a week are very remote, and if this unit really can't work on an AA Akaline battery alone I think I'll have to return it....
Thanking everyone in advance....
