Olympus LS-100 Recharging

Power Supply

Notes

• Always use the dedicated USB cable that is

provided. Do not use a cable from another

manufacturer. Doing so could cause a failure.In

addition, do not connect the dedicated cable to

another manufacturer’s product.

• Carefully insert the battery facing the right direc-

tion.

• Be sure to turn of f the recorder before replacing

the battery. If the battery is removed while the

recorder is operating, a failure could occur (For

example, the recorder may become unable to

play files).

• You may have to reset the time if the batter y is

removed from the recorder for 15 minutes or if

the battery is repeatedly removed and inserted

at short intervals (☞ P.27).

• Remove the b attery if the recorder is not to be

used for a long time.

• When you n eed a new battery, always purchase

the Olympus lithium ion battery (LI-50B). Do not

use a cable from another manufacturer. Doing

so could cause a failure.

• When rechargin g the battery, turn on the PC

and connect the recorder using the USB cable.

The battery is not recharged if the PC is off or

in the standby, hibernation or auto-power-off

mode.

• Do not use the USB hub to connect to the PC

when recharging the battery.

• The battery indicator shows [<] when recharg-

ing is complete (Recharging time: about three

hours*).

* This is the approximate time when recharg-

ing an empty battery to the full level at the

room temperature.The recharging time varies

depending on the remaining battery level,

recharging state and other factors.

• If [;] or [=] is displayed, the battery cannot be

recharged. The ambient temperature must be

between 5 C and 35 C to recharge the battery.

[;]: The ambient temperature is too low.

[=]: The ambient temperature is too high.

• If the battery runs out ver y quickly even after

being recharged to the full level, replace it with a

new one.

• Securely insert the USB connector all the way in.

The USB connector must be properly connected

to operate normally.

Recharging

▌

4Discharge:

Because the lithium ion battery has self-discharge

characteristics, recharge the attached lithium ion

battery before using the product for the first time.

4Operating temperature:

The battery is a chemical product. Although the

battery performance varies even if the battery is

used in the recommended temperature range, this

variation is not a failure.

4Recommended temperature range:

When operating the recorder: 0 to 42 C

When recharging: 5 to 35 C

When storing the recorder for a long time: –20

to 30 C

Using the battery outside the above temperature

range could cause performance deterioration or a

shorter period of durability. If the recorder is not to

be used for a long time, remove the battery prior to

storage to prevent liquid leak or rust.

• A new battery or a battery that has not been

used for a long time (one month or more) may

not completely recharge due to the nature of

lithium ion batteries. In such a case, repeatedly

recharge and discharge the batteries a few times.

• Dispose of the battery according to applicable

laws.When disposing of the battery without

completely discharging it, insulate the battery

terminals with tape or take other measures to

prevent short-circuiting.

• When the unit's [USB Class] is set to [Composite]

with the [USB setting], charging will not start

(☞ P. 110).

• If the battery runs out and you cannot change

the USB settings, connect the recorder via USB

while pressing and holding the STOP button for

around 10 seconds until a logo appears on the

display. The setting will switch automatically to

Storage allowing you to recharge the recorder (☞

P. 110).
