Olympus WS-500M 介绍手册

•  Do not charge the recorder with the USB 

hub connected.

• If [Cannot charge] is displayed, it means 

that a battery that cannot be charged is 
in the recorder. Replace the batteries with 
supplied ones at once (

☞ P. 10).

•  You cannot charge when [

;]*1 or 

[

=]*2 blinks. Charge the batteries at the 

temperature from 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
*1 [

;]:  When surrounding temperature is 

low.

*2 [

=]:  When surrounding temperature is 

high.

•  When using time becomes notably short 

even after the batteries are fully charged, 
replace them with new ones.

•  Be sure to push the USB connector all the 

way in. Otherwise, the recorder may not 
operate properly.

•  Use the supplied USB extension cable 

depending on situations.

•  Do not use USB extension cables other 

than the supplied cable.

  Using cables from other manufacturers 

could result in damage to the recorder. Do 
not use the supplied USB extension cable 
with devices from other manufacturers.

Read the following descriptions carefully 
when you use the Ni-MH rechargeable 
batteries.

The rechargeable batteries self-discharge 
while this is not in use. Be sure to charge 
them regularly before use.

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.

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.

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.

•  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.
