Notes

Manganese batteries may not be used in this recorder.

Be sure to turn off the recorder before replacing the batteries. Unloading the batteries while the recorder is in use may cause a malfunction such as corrupting the file, etc. If you take out the batteries while recording, you will lose your currently recorded file because the file header will not be able to close.

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 re-enter the battery and time settings.

Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.

When you are playing a file from the built-in

speaker, the recorder may turn Loff depending on the volume level due to the reduced voltage output of the batteries even if [ ] is displayed in

the battery indicator. In this case, lower the volume of the recorder.
