Power supply
Turning on/off the power
When the recorder is not being used,
turn the power off to reduce battery
consumption to a minimum. Even if
the power is turned off, existing data,
mode settings, and clock settings will be
maintained.
Turning on the power
While the recorder’s power is off,
slide the POWER/HOLD switch in the
direction indicated by the arrow.
• The display will turn on, and the power
will be turned on.
• The resume function will bring the
recorder back to the stop position in
memory before power was turned off.
Notes
• This recorder is designed to fully charge
batteries regardless of their energy level.
However, for best results when charging
newly purchased rechargeable batteries
or batteries that have not been used for
a long time (more than one month), It is
recommended to fully charge the batteries
then discharge repeatedly for 2 to 3 times.
• When disposing rechargeable batteries,
always observe the local laws and
regulations. Contact you local recycling
center for proper disposal methods.
• If Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are not
fully discharged, protect against short-
circuiting (e.g. by taping the contacts)
before disposing.
For customers in Germany:
Olympus has a contract with the GRS (Joint
Battery Disposal Association) in Germany to
ensure environmentally friendly disposal.

minutes or longer (default), the display

button.
Turning off the power
Slide the POWER/HOLD switch in the
direction indicated by the arrow for
0.5 seconds or longer.

stop position before the power is turned
off.
