Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.

When playing a voice/music file, the recorder may be reset due to the reduction of the voltage output of the

batteries depending on the volume level even if [8] is displayed in the battery 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.

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

 

1

Using the rechargeable batteries outside

the above temperature range may result in

 

 

declining efficiency and shorter battery life.

Power

In order to prevent battery leakage or rust,

remove the rechargeable batteries from the

products when you will not be using them

supply

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.

If Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are not fully discharged, protect against shortcircuiting (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.

Turning on/off the power
