Cautions concerning the rechargeable batteries
Read the following descriptions carefully 
when you use the Ni-MH rechargeable 
batteries.
Discharging:
The rechargeable batteries self-discharge 
while this is not in use. Be sure to charge 
them regularly before use.
Operating temperature:
The rechargeable batteries are chemical 
products. The rechargeable batteries 
efficiency may fluctuate even when 
operating within the recommended 
temperature range. This is an inherent 
nature of such products.
Recommended temperature range:
When operating appliance:
  0°C - 42°C/ 32°F - 107.6°F
Charging:
  5°C - 35°C/ 41°F - 95°F
Storage for a long period:
  –20°C - 30°C/ –4°F - 86°F
Using the rechargeable batteries outside 
the above temperature range may result in 
declining efficiency and shorter battery life. 
In order to prevent battery leakage or rust, 
remove the rechargeable batteries from the 
products when you will not be using them 
for a long time, and store them separately.
 Notes
•  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.
•  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.
Turning on/off the power
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.
Turning on the power
Slide the HOLD switch in the 
opposite direction that indicated by 
the arrow.
•  If Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are not 
fully discharged, protect against short-
circuiting (e.g. by taping the contacts) 
before disposing.
For customers in Germany:
Olympus has a contract with the GRS (Joint 
Battery Disposal Association) in Germany to 
ensure environmentally friendly disposal.
