Built-in speaker
An optional Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery (BR401) from Olympus can be
used for the recorder.
Replacing Batteries
When

possible. Size-AAA alkaline batteries are recommended. When the
batteries are depleted,
appears on the display, and the recor-
der shuts off. It is recommended to set the
HOLD
switch to the
HOLD
position before you replace batteries to maintain the current
settings (Time/Date, etc.). For your convenience, the recorder also
logs the current settings in nonvolatile memory at hourly intervals.
■
Power Supply (Fig.
“
)
The
HOLD
switch functions as a power button. When you do not use
the recorder, set the
HOLD
switch to the
HOLD
position while the
recorder is stopped. This will power off the recorder and minimize
the battery drain.
Power on…Reset the HOLD switch.
Power off…Set the HOLD switch to the HOLD position.
Standby Mode and Display Shut Off
If the recorder is stopped or paused for 60 minutes or longer during
recording or play back, it goes into Standby (power-save) mode, and
the display shuts off. To exit Standby mode and turn on the display,
press any button.
■
Hold
Set the HOLD switch to the HOLD position. All operation buttons are
disabled. This feature is useful when the recorder has to be carried
in a handbag or pocket. Remember to reset the HOLD switch before
attempting to use the recorder.
Notes
• The alarm will sound at the scheduled time even if the recorder is set
to HOLD. The recorder will then begin to play the file associated with
the alarm once you press any button (Excluded VN-1100/VN-1100PC).
• The recorder functions as follows with the HOLD switch set to the
HOLD position:
– If the recorder is playing, the display goes dark when playback of
the current file has completed.
– If the recorder is recording, the display goes dark when the recorder
stops recording automatically upon running out of free memory.
