Olympus WS-700M Introduction Manual

When the recorder is not being used, 
turn the power off to reduce battery 
consumption to a minimum. Even if 
the power is turned off, existing data, 
mode settings, and clock settings will be 
maintained.

•  The display will turn on, and the power 

will be turned on.

•  The resume function will bring the 

recorder back to the stop position in 
memory before power was turned off.

•  This recorder is designed to fully charge 

batteries regardless of their energy level. 
However, for best results when charging 
newly purchased rechargeable batteries 
or batteries that have not been used for 
a long time (more than one month), It is 
recommended to fully charge the batteries 
then discharge repeatedly for 2 to 3 times.

•  When disposing rechargeable batteries, 

always observe the local laws and 
regulations. Contact you local recycling 
center for proper disposal methods.

•  If Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are not 

fully discharged, protect against short-
circuiting (e.g. by taping the contacts) 
before disposing.

Olympus has a contract with the GRS (Joint 
Battery Disposal Association) in Germany to 
ensure environmentally friendly disposal.

If the recorder is on and stops for 10 
minutes or longer (default), the display 
shuts off and it goes into power save 
mode (

☞ P.57).

•  To exit power save mode, press any 

button.

•  The display shuts off, and the power will 

be turned off.

•   The resume function remembers the 

stop position before the power is turned 
off.
