Close the battery cover
completely by pressing to the 
direction A, then sliding to the 
direction B.
• If the “hour” indicator flashes in the
display, see “Setting time and date 
[Time & Date]” (
☞ P.15).
Battery indicator
The battery indicator on the display changes 
as the batteries loose power.
• Be sure to stop the recorder before
replacing the batteries. Unloading the 
batteries while the recorder is in use may 
cause a malfunction such as corrupting 
the fi le, etc. If you are recording into a fi le 
and the batteries run out, you will loose 
your currently recorded fi le because the 
fi le header will not be able to close. It is 
crucial to change the batteries once you 
see only one Hash mark in the battery 
indicator.
• If it takes longer than 1 minute to replace
the dead batteries or if you take the 
batteries in and out repeatedly at short 
intervals, you may have to reset the time 
when you have loaded fresh batteries 
(
☞ P.15).
• Remove the batteries if you are not going
to use the recorder for an extended 
period of time.
• When playing a voice/music fi le, the
recorder may be reset due to the 
reduction of the voltage output of the 
batteries depending on the volume level 
even if [
8] is displayed in the battery
indicator. In this case, lower the volume of 
the recorder.
• 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.
• This recorder cannot charge
rechargeable batteries.
For WS-450S:
• When
[
:] appears on the display, replace
the batteries as soon as possible. When 
the batteries are too weak, [
s] and
[Battery Low] appears on the display and 
the recorder shuts down.
Notes
• Manganese batteries may not be used in
this recorder.
• When changing batteries, AAA alkaline
batteries or Olympus Ni-MH rechargeable 
batteries are recommended.
