Replacing Batteries

The battery indicator on the display changes
as the batteries lose power.

  

  

  

  

  

  

When the batteries are too weak, the recorder
shuts down and “BATTERY LOW” appears on
the display.
When 

 appears on the display, replace

the batteries as soon as possible. AAA alkaline
batteries* are recommended.

* The two AAA alkaline batteries provide

approximately 11 hours of continuous recording and
playback. Battery life depends on the operating
environment and other conditions.

Notes

• Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing

the batteries. Unloading the batteries while the
recorder is recording, erasing or otherwise
accessing an audio file may corrupt the file.

• Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time.
• Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries

of different types and/or brands.

• If it takes longer than 3 minutes to replace dead

batteries, you may have to reset the time when you
load fresh batteries.

• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use

the recorder for an extended period of time.
