An optional Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery (BR401) from Olympus can be used for the recorder.

Replacing Batteries:

When [N] appears on the display, rep lace the bat teries as so on aspossible. Size-AAA alkaline batteries are recommended. When the batteries are depleted, [O] appears on the display, and the recorder shuts off. It is recommended to set the HOLD switch to the [HOLD] position before you replace batteries to maintain the currentsettings (Time and date, etc.). For your convenience, the recorder also logs the current settings in nonvolatile memory at hourly intervals.

Power Supply (Fig. 2)

The HOLD switch functions as a power button. When you do not use the recorder, set the HOLD switch to the [HOLD] position while the recorder is stopped. This will power off the recorder and minimizethe battery drain.

Power on:

Reset the HOLD switch.

Power off:

Set the HOLD switch to the [HOLD] position.

Standby Mode and Display Shut Off:

If the recorder is stopped or paused for 60 minutes or longer during recording or play back, it goes into Standby (power-save) mode, and the display shuts off. To exit Standby mode and turn on the display, press any button.

Hold

Set the HOLD switch to the [HOLD] position. All operation buttons are disabled. This feature is useful when the recorder has to be carried in a handbag or pocket. Remember to reset the HOLD switch before attempting to use the recorder.

Notes:

T he alarm will sound at the scheduled time even if the recorder is set to [HOLD] position. The recorder will then begin to play the fi le associated with the alarm once you press any button.

The recorder functions as follows with the HOLD switch set to the [HOLD] position:

If the recorder is playing, the display goes dark when playback of the current file has completed.
