Rechargeable batteries

Read the information below carefully when using a lithium-ion rechargeable battery (Li-50B).

4 Discharging

Rechargeable batteries discharge naturally when not in use. Be sure to charge the battery before use.

4 Operating temperature

Rechargeable batteries are chemical-based products. Their performance can vary even when used within the recommended operating temperature range. This variation is normal.

4 Recommended temperature

range

When powering voice recorder: 0 to 42°C

(32 to 107.6°F) When being charged: 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F) During long-term storage: –20 to 30°C

(–4 to 86°F) Use of a rechargeable battery outside the temperature ranges above may result in drops in battery performance or life. When not using the voice recorder for an extended period, remove the rechargeable battery before storage to prevent fluid leakage or rust.

NOTE

• Due to the nature of a lithium-ion

rechargeable battery, new batteries and batteries not used for an extended period (one month or more) may not charge completely. The battery should become fully charged after charging and discharging the battery up to three times.

Page 17

Batteries

• Always dispose rechargeable batteries in the legally prescribed manner. Before disposing rechargeable batteries that are not fully discharged, take steps to prevent shorting such as insulating their terminals with tape.

• Always turn power off before replacing the battery. Files may be damaged if the battery is removed while the voice recorder is recording or performing an operation such as erasing a file.

• At the time of purchase, the battery cover is not attached to the device.

• You may need to reset the date/time if the battery is removed from the voice recorder for over fifteen minutes, or if the battery is quickly removed and replaced. See “Setting the date/time [Time & Date]” (☞ P.71) for the procedure.

• When not using the voice recorder for an extended period, always remove the battery before storage.

• When buying rechargeable batteries, always select lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (Li-50B). Operation is not guaranteed. If a battery from another manufacturer is used.

• Even if the battery indicator is [ playback with the built-in speaker at some volumes may result in a drop in battery output voltage, causing the voice recorder to reset. Lower the volume in this case.

• Battery life will be shorter when using an SD card.

• The continuous battery usage time will vary depending on the performance of the battery in use (☞ P.128).

• Battery life will be shorter when using lithium-ion rechargeable battery that has been used repeatedly (☞ P.128).

TIP

• You can also select the internal

memory as the recording media (☞ P.71).

• Depending on the card’s manufacturer and type, some SD cards, SDHC cards, and SDXC cards may not be fully compatible with the voice recorder and not be recognized properly.

• For SD card compatibility under Olympus verification, please contact our customer support at:

http://www.olympusamerica.com

Note that our customer support

will provide information on SD card manufacturers and card types for which Olympus has verified operation, but will not guarantee it’s performance.

Also note that some cards may

no longer be recognized correctly by the voice recorder in case card manufacturer changes card specifications.

• Read the operating instructions provided with the card when using an SD card.

• If an SD card is not recognized by the voice recorder, try removing and reinserting the card to have the voice recorder attempt recognition again.

• Processing speed may be low for some SD card types. Processing performance may also be reduced by writing or deleting data repeatedly from an SD card. In such a case, initialize the SD card (☞P.88).

Wi-Fi Function

Before using the Wi-Fi function

The voice recorder is equipped with a Wi-Fi function. Wi-Fi devices are certified by an organization known as Wi-Fi Alliance that certifies that wireless LAN devices can be mutually connected. In this manual, the wireless LAN functions are described collectively as “Wi-Fi”. Smartphones can be connected to the voice recorder using radio signals. Because of wireless, as long as the radio signal can reach the unit, flexible connection is possible. Radio signals extend a certain range and can penetrate obstacles (wood, glass, etc.), thus even if the voice recorder is placed another room, connection is possible. Using a special application for smartphones, you can play back files recorded by the voice recorder. Also, the voice recorder can be operated from a distance, as long as it is within the reach of the radio signal. For details, see our website.

What can you do with the Wi-Fi function?

s Use your smartphone to operate the voice recorder. s Create content files in which voice and images are synchronized.

To perform the above functions, you need to install the special application for smartphones

Before using the Wi-Fi function

beforehand (☞P.93).

Page 91

Before using the Wi-Fi function

NOTE

• The Wi-Fi function of the voice recorder is designed to be used in the following regions. America:

United states, Canada Do not use the Wi-Fi function of the voice recorder in regions than the above. Using the

function could violate the radio signal restrictions in that country. We will assume no responsibility whatsoever for the use of this technology.

• Communication may be affected if there is reinforced structures, metal or concrete between the voice recorder and the Wi-Fi access point.

• Do not use the Wi-Fi function of the voice recorder in a hospital and airplane where its use is prohibited.

• Near a microwave, cordless telephone set, or device that uses the 2.4GHz frequency band, if the voice recorder is used at the same time with such a device, communication performance may be affected. When using the voice recorder, keep a sufficient distance away from such devices.

• If multiple Wi-Fi access points nearby use the same channel, the voice recorder may not be detected correctly.

• To the extent possible, try not to use the voice recorder near mobile phones, televisions, or radios. Mobile phones, PHS, TV sets, and radios use different frequencies than the voice recorder but electromagnetic waves generated from Wi-Fi products including this voice recorder could generate noise in audio or video images.

• When using the Wi-Fi function, battery life is consumed quickly. If the battery runs out during data transfer, the data may be damaged. Therefore, when using a Wi-Fi connection we recommend that you use the AC adapter included with the voice recorder.

Before using the Wi-Fi function

Page 92

Before using the Wi-Fi function

Notes on security when using Wi-Fi products

• With a Wi-Fi connection, information is exchanged wirelessly between a smartphone and the voice recorder and as long as radio signals reach the unit, flexible connection is possible. However, because radio signals can penetrate through obstacles (wood, glass, etc.), if there is no security-related setting, the following problems could occur.

• A malicious third party intentionally intercepts radio signals to spy on communication content.

• Unauthorized intrusion causes the leaking of personal information.

• Intercepted communication contents are rewritten and transmitted.

• Destructive computer viruses are released that can destroy data or systems.

For security protection, we recommend the password be changed periodically using the [Wi-Fi] function of the voice recorder (☞P.74).

• Should a problem occur for an inevitable reason due to the specifications of the Wi-Fi connection, we assume no responsibility whatsoever for any damage incurred.

TIP

Before using the Wi-Fi function

SSID (Service Set Identifier): SSID is the ID (network name) required for Wi-Fi connection. Access point (Wireless LAN access point): A device that receives radio signals to connect

client to the network over a wireless LAN. Or, the name used when a device is used as only a radio transmitting function.
