Votes on the DICT/BATT lamp

• After the batteries have been used for a while, the DICT/BATT lamp may

flicker with the playback sound when you turn up the volume; however, this does not mean that you need to change the batteries.

• The unit will play back normally for a while even after the DICT/BATT lamp dims. However, replace the batteries as soon as you can. If you do not, subsequent recording will not be done correctly.
