Strange Noises On Recordings

A little while back, I made some recordings with my Sharp MT-877 recorder and experienced some odd sounds on the recording. With the mic plugged into my battery module and that being plugged into my recorder's line-in, I got these little "bleeps" here and there. I don't know how to describe it, but graphically they are very, VERY pronounced. Additionally, they occured so quickly, it was easy enough to eliminite them entirely (cut that section out) and not damage the recording as far as listenability is concerned. Likewise, these noises were not continuous.

I also used the same recorder with mic to mic-in and got another strange sound. However, this one was continuous and occured "under" the entire duration of the recording. This one sounds more like the little beeps a power device will make when the power is being limited ... Very light "beeps," but quite annoying. Unlike the other sound, however, these cannot be removed from the recording as they occur every three seconds and last for a longer time than the others.

Has anyone else had this sort of problem before? I don't know what I should do. Of course, I would like to continue to use my MT-877 when the need arises, but I don't want to risk this sort of thing happening again. Could the problem be an unclean lens or something to that effect? Would a disc head-cleaner be a good investment? I don't know what to do ...

Thanks! :-)
