When appears on the display, replace the battery as soon as possible.

When the battery is too weak, the recorder shuts down and “Battery Low” appears on the display. AAA alkaline battery is recommended.

Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery

An optional Ni-MH rechargeable battery from Olympus can be used for the recorder ( P.84).

....................................................................................................................................................

Notes

Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the battery. Unloading the battery while the recorder is in use may corrupt the file. If you are recording into a file and the battery runs out, you will lose your currently recorded file because the file header will not be able to close. It is crucial to change the battery once you see only one hash mark in the battery indicator.

If it takes longer than 1 hour to replace the dead battery, you may have to reset the time when you load a fresh battery ( P.12).

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

10

Power Supply

When the recorder is not used, setting it to HOLD turns off the recorder, suppressing the consumption of the battery to a minimum.

Even if the power is turned off, the existing data, settings of each mode, and clock setting will be maintained. To turn the power on, cancel the HOLD switch.

Turning Off the Power

Move the HOLD switch to the HOLD position while the recorder is not in operation.

After “Hold” is displayed, flashing for 2 seconds, the display will turn off.

Turning On the Power

Release the HOLD switch of the recorder.

Standby Mode and Display Shut Off

If the recorder is stopped/not used for over 5 minutes after it is turned on, it goes into standby (power-save) mode, and the display shuts off. To exit standby mode and turn on the display, press any button.

Recording

The recorder provides five folders, A, B, C, D and E, and each message recorded in a folder is saved as a Windows Media Audio (WMA) file. These five folders can be selectively used to distinguish the kind of recording; for example, Folder A might be used to store private information, while Folder B might be dedicated to holding business information. Up to 199 messages can be recorded per folder.
