Q: May I use a manganese battery ?

alkaline batteries.)
Q: Why do I hear a rustling noise in the recordings?
A: A rustling noise may be recorded if you move the unit during recording, or even if you move
your fingers while holding the unit when recording. If possible, try not to move the unit

microSD card. Therefore, if you record one file until the microSD card is full, you cannot
record further even if you change the file or folder.
