Notes
• Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the batteries. Unloading the batteries while the recorder is
in use may corrupt the file. If you are recording into a file and the batteries run out, you will lose your
currently recorded file because the file header will not be able to close. It is crucial to change the batteries
once you see only one Hash mark in the battery icon.
• 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 1 minute to replace dead batteries, you may have to reset the time when you load
fresh batteries (
☞
P.14).
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.
