•Always turn power off before replacing the battery. Files may be damaged if the battery is removed while the voice recorder is recording or performing an operation such as erasing a file.

•You may need to reset the date/time if the battery is removed from the voice recorder for over one minute, or if the battery is quickly removed and replaced. See “Setting the date/time [Time & Date]” (☞ P.78) for the procedure.

•When not using the voice recorder for an extended period, always remove the battery before storage.

•When replacing the battery, use an AAA alkaline dry cell battery or an Olympus nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery (model BR404).

•When buying rechargeable batteries, always select model BR404 nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Operation is not guaranteed. If a battery from another manufacturer is used.

•Even if the battery indicator is [], playback with the built-in speaker at some volumes may result in a drop in battery output voltage, causing the voice recorder to reset. Lower the volume in this case.

•The continuous battery usage time is reduced when using a microSD card (☞ P.113).

•The continuous battery usage time will vary depending on the performance of the battery in use (☞ P.113).

•The continuous battery usage time of a nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery that has been used repeatedly will be reduced due to battery degradation (☞ P.113).
