Budah Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 (edited) Hi! I'm new around here and to MD's too... My problem is that everytime I put my n707 to record something it takes about 2 minutes till it shows on screen the low battery warning and then goes off... I don't understand it, since I usually use brand new AA alkaline batteries. What's the problem? Can anybody help me? Thank you Edited May 26, 2005 by Budah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Try a different brand of battery for starters. Also, do you have any problems plugged into AC power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budah Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 (edited) OK I'll see what happens with different brands thanks Anyway I don't have an AC power unit to test it... is it normal for an AA alkaline to have such a short life in rec mode?(battery meter starts decreasing at the first 30 sec. and then it keeps recording till 1 min. After that, it displays "Data Save", "Toc Edit" and "Low Batt". After "Low Batt" it shuts down)I bought it on ebay and I hope there's nothing wrong with the battery circuit or something like that as I was planning to record my sets through it.

A440 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 AA battery life is extraordinarily good--3 or 4 hours of recording at least. The MD is acting the way it does with a nearly dead battery. So let's hope it's just a bad battery. Try a Duracell. You can find a three-volt adapter at Radio Shack or someplace like that, just bring the MD along and make sure the plug matches.
