Notes
•Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the
batteries. Unloading the batteries while the recorder is
recording, erasing or otherwise accessing an audio file
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. So,
it is crucial to change the batteries once you see only one
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.9).
•Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the
recorder for an extended period of time.
