Rechargeable batteries can develope a "memory".  To erase this
memory you must run the batteries down completely.  Then hook up the
charger and let it charge the full time as indicated in the
insructions that came with the Diskman.  I had a similar problem
occur with a portable phone that would stay operational for shorter
periods of time as the unit was used.  By following the method I
just outlined.
