•  Manganese batteries may not be used in 

this recorder.

•  When changing batteries, AAA alkaline 

batteries or Olympus Ni-MH rechargeable 
batteries are recommended.

•  Be sure to stop the recorder before 

replacing the batteries. Unloading the 
batteries while the recorder is in use may 
corrupt the fi le. If you are recording into 
a fi le and the batteries run out, you will 
loose your currently recorded fi le because 
the fi le header will not be able to close. 
It is crucial to change the batteries once 
you see only one Hash mark in the battery 
indicator.

•  If it takes longer than 1 minute to replace 

the dead batteries or if you take the 
batteries in and out repeatedly at short 
intervals, you may have to reset the time 
when you have loaded fresh batteries 
(

☞ P.15).

•  Remove the batteries if you are not going 

to use the recorder for an extended period 
of time.

•  When playing a voice/music fi le, the 

recorder may be reset due to the 
reduction of the voltage output of the 
batteries depending on the volume level 
even if [

indicator. In this case, lower the volume of 
the recorder.

•  When replacing rechargeable batteries, be 

sure to use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries 
(optional). The use of other manufacturers' 
products can damage the recorder and 
should be avoided.
