I want to clear my recorder of all files. How do I format the recorder?

The recorder should be formatted only by using the internal FORMAT function found in the menu. Formatting using the computer may corrupt system files needed to run the recorder and may delete the Voice Guide Data and Audible system files. When the recorder is connected to a computer, individual files can be deleted using its file- browsing program (e.g. My Computer) without negative effects.

How do I charge the recorder’s rechargeable batteries?

The two bundled BR-401 NiMH batteries can be charged in the recorder via a USB connection to a computer. The USB cable should be plugged directly into a computer USB port and not into a USB hub. USB hubs split up the USB current and the battery may not fully charge through a hub connection.

To charge the batteries through a USB port, first connect the USB cable bundled with this recorder to a computer. Next, press the [STOP] button on the recorder while plugging the other end of the USB cable into the recorder. Charging will be displayed in the charging indicator at the top of the LCD screen and the orange LED will be lit. The LED will go out when charging is completed.

The batteries can also be charged using the optional AC Adapter A-514, which has a USB plug on its cable. To set up the recorder to charge from the AC adapter, in the menu go to USB Settings > USB Connect > AC Adapter and press the [OK/MENU] button.

How should the recorder be disconnected from a Windows computer?

Any USB device should be disconnected from a Windows→ computer using the [Safely Remove Hardware] icon located in the Taskbar in the lower right corner of the Desktop screen. The icon features a green arrow suspended above a device and pointing to the lower left.

Any open files should be closed before starting the disconnect process. Simply removing the device from the USB port without using the recommended disconnect procedure can result in corruption of files or firmware.

Double-clicking on the [Safely Remove Hardware] icon opens a dialog box to shut down the USB connection so that the device can be safely disconnected. Select the device to be disconnected by clicking once on its name, and then click on the [Stop] button.
