If the recorder can not charger then replace the batteries.
The two bundled BR-401 NiMH batteries can be charged in the recorder via a USB connection to a computer. The USB cable should be plugged directly into a computer USB port and not into a USB hub. USB hubs split up the USB current and the battery may not fully charge through a hub connection.
To charge the batteries through a USB port, first connect the USB cable bundled with this recorder to a computer. Next, press the [STOP] button on the recorder while plugging the other end of the USB cable into the recorder. Charging will be displayed in the charging indicator at the top of the LCD screen and the orange LED will be lit. The LED will go out when charging is completed.
The batteries can also be charged using the optional AC Adapter A-514, which has a USB plug on its cable. To set up the recorder to charge from the AC adapter, in the menu go to USB Settings > USB Connect > AC Adapter and press the [OK/MENU] button.
