Power supply

Charge the battery

Lithium ion battery is self 

discharging. After unpacking 

this product, charge the supplied 

lithium ion battery before using 

the recorder for the first time.

Charging using AC adapter

The included AC adapter (A515) can be connected 

to this recorder for charging. We recommend 

using  the  AC  adapter  when  recording  or 

operating the recorder for long periods.

 

1

  Connect the AC adapter in to an 

AC outlet.

 

2

  Connect the AC adapter to the 

recorder.

•  Charging  has  started  when  LED 

indicator light is orange and the battery 

indicator on the display changes to the 

charging indicator.

•  When playing a voice/music file, the 

recorder may be reset due to the 

reduction of the voltage output of the 

battery depending on the volume level 

even if [

k

] is displayed in the battery 

indicator. In this case, lower the volume of 

the recorder.

•  When replacing rechargeable battery, be 

sure to use lithium ion battery (LI-50B) 

specified by Olympus. The use of other 

manufacturers' products can damage the 

recorder and should be avoided.
