Battery precautions
•
The voice recorder does not support
manganese batteries.
•
Always turn power off before replacing
the battery. Files may be damaged if the
battery is removed while the voice recorder
is recording or performing an operation
such as erasing a file.
•
You may need to reset the date/time if
the battery is removed from the voice
recorder for over one minute, or if the
battery is quickly removed and replaced.
See
“
Setting the date/time [Time & Date]
”
(
☞
P.78) for the procedure.
•
When not using the voice recorder for
an extended period, always remove the
battery before storage.
•
When replacing the battery, use an AAA
alkaline dry cell battery or an Olympus
nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery
(model BR404).
•
When buying rechargeable batteries,
always select model BR404 nickel-metal
hydride rechargeable batteries. Operation
is not guaranteed. If a battery from another
manufacturer is used.
•
Even if the battery indicator is [
],
playback with the built-in speaker at some
volumes may result in a drop in battery
output voltage, causing the voice recorder
to reset. Lower the volume in this case.
•
The continuous battery usage time is
reduced when using a microSD card
(
☞
P.113).
•
The continuous battery usage time will
vary depending on the performance of the
battery in use (
☞
P.113).
•
The continuous battery usage time of
a nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
battery that has been used repeatedly will
be reduced due to battery degradation
(
☞
P.113).
•
The [
Battery
] screen appears automatically
after you have replaced the battery. You can
also use a menu operation to display this
screen and set the battery (
☞
P.77).
