Insert two AAA alkaline batteries, observing the
correct polarity.
• Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the batteries. Unloading the batteries while the recorder
is recording, erasing or otherwise accessing a audio file may corrupt the file. If you are recording into a file
and the batteries run out, you will lose your currently recorded file because the file header will not be able
to close. So, it is crucial to change the batteries once you see only one mark in the battery icon.
• Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time.
• Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types and/or brands.
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.

• 건전지 교체 전에 녹음기를 정지시켜야 합니다. 녹음 중에 건전지를 빼내고 오디오파일을 지우면 파일
이 손상될 수 있습니다. 파일에 녹음을 하는 도중 건전지가 소모되면 표제가 닫히지 못하게 되므로 현
재 녹음된 파일을 잃게 됩니다. 따라서 건전지 아이콘에 표시가 하나라도 나타나면 건전지를 교체하는
것이 중요합니다.
• 건전지 2개를 동시에 교체하십시오.
• 오래된 건전지와 새 건전지 또는 다른 종류나 다른 브랜드의 건전지를 섞어 사용하지 마십시오.
• 본 녹음기를 오래 사용하지 않을 때에는 건전지를 빼내십시오.
화살표 방향으로 가볍게 누르면서 건전지 덮개를
밀어 여십시오.

현재 설정해 놓은 것 (시각/날짜 등) 을 유지하려면 전지를
교환하기 전에 HOLD 스위치를 HOLD 위치에 설정해 놓는
것이 좋습니다. 이 레코더는 현재 설정해 놓은 것을 매시간
간격으로 기억하여 기록해 주므로 매우 편리합니다.
본 녹음기에는 선택 사양인 Olympus사의 Ni-MH
2차 건전지를 사용하실 수 있습니다. 그러나, NiMH 2차 건전지를 사용하면 건전지 잔량이 정확하게
표시되지 않습니다.

녹음모드 (MOdE)
HQ (고품질) 모드, SP (표준재생) 모드, LP (장시간 재생) 모드 등 3가지 녹음모드 중에서
선택할 수 있습니다. 연속녹음시간은 HQ모드에서는 약 1시간 31분, SP모드에서는 2시간 17
분, 그리고 LP모드에서는 약 6시간 4분입니다.
위에 보여진 녹음시간은 하나의 화일에 연속녹음 했을 경우입니다. 여러개의 화일이 녹음되
면 가능 녹음시간이 이보다 줄어들 수 있습니다. (잔량시간은 다소 차이가 날 수 있습니다.)
• 성공적으로 녹음하려면 녹음하기 전에 적절한 마이크로폰의 감도
를 선택하기 위하여 테스 트 녹음을 해 주십시오.
• HI를 선택하면 고감도를 이용할 수 있으므로 녹음상태를 HQ또는
SP로 하기를 추천합 니다.

가변제어음성작동기 (VCVA) 의 사용
사운드가 미리 설정된 음량에 다다랐음을 마이크가 감지하면 내장된 가변제어음성작동기가
자동적으로 녹음을 시작하며 음량이 떨어지면 녹음을 정지합니다.
VCVA기능은 특히 녹음연장 시에 유용하며 조용한 시간동안에는 녹음을 중단하여 메모리를
보존할 뿐만 아니라 재생을 더욱 효율적이고 편리하게 해 줍니다.

이 특징은 ERASE버튼을 사고로 누르는 경우에도 파일이 삭제되지 않기 때문에 본 녹음기
를 가방이나 주머니에 넣고 다닐 때 유용합니다.
본 녹음기 사용 시에는 HOLD스위치를 재설정하는 것을 잊지 마십시오.
주
• HOLD 스위치를 HOLD 위치에 설정하면 레코더는 다음과 같은 기능을
갖습니다:
– 레코더가 정지하면 디스플레이 화면이 어두워집니다.
– 레코더가 재생중이면 현재 파일의 재생이 끝났을 때 디스플레이 화
면이 어두워집니다.
– 녹음상태에서 홀드스위치를 홀드쪽으로 밀면, 녹음가능시간이 O이
되는 시점에서 녹음이 종료되고 디스플레이는 어두워집니다.
• HOLD 스위치가 HOLD 위치에 설정되어 있어 디스플레이 화면이 어두울
때, 아무 버튼이나 누르면 시계는 2초동안 깜빡입니다.
• 재생하는 동안 HOLD 위치에 HOLD 스위치를 설정해 도 볼륨 조절
이 가능합니다.
