Power supply
Notes
• Manganese batteries may not be used in this
recorder.
• When changing batteries, AAA alkaline batteries
or Olympus Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are
recommended.
• Be sure to turn OFF the recorder before
replacing the batteries. Removing the batteries
while the recorder is in use may corrupt the card.
If you are recording into a fi le and the batteries
run out, you will lose your currently recorded fi le
since the fi le header will not be written. It is crucial
to replace the batteries when one hash mark is
shown 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 15 minutes to replace the
dead batteries or if you take the batteries in and
out repeatedly at short intervals, you may have
to redo the battery and time settings. In this case,
the [Battery] screen will appear. For more details,
see “Battery settings”.
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use
the recorder for an extended period of time.
• When replacing rechargeable batteries, be sure to
use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (optional). The
use of other manufacturers’ products can damage
the recorder and should be avoided.
