Handling the recorder
f Warning:
• Keep the recorder out of the reach
of children and infants to prevent
the following dangerous situation
that could cause serious injury:
Always use and store the
recorder out of the reach of
young children and infants to
prevent the following dangerous
situations which could cause
serious injury:
1 Accidentally swallowing the
battery, cards or other small
parts.
2 Accidentally being injured
by the moving parts of the
recorder.
• Do not disassemble, repair or
modify the unit yourself.
• Use SD/SDHC, microSD/microSDHC
memory cards only. Never use
other types of cards.
If you accidentally insert another
type of card into the recorder,
contact an authorized distributor
or service center. Do not try to
remove the card by force.
• Do not operate the unit while
operating a vehicle.
f Caution:
• Stop using the recorder
immediately if you notice any
unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
Never remove the battery with
bare hands, which may cause a
fire or burn your hands.
• Do not leave the recorder in
places where it may be subject to
extremely high temperatures.
Doing so may cause parts
to deteriorate and, in some
circumstances, cause the
recorder to catch fire. Do not
use the charger or AC adapter
if it is covered. This could cause
overheating, resulting in fire.
• Handle the recorder with care to
avoid getting a low-temperature
burn.
− When the recorder contains
metal parts, overheating can
result in a low-temperature burn.
Pay attention to the following:
− When used for a long period, the
recorder will get hot. If you hold on
to the recorder in this state, a low-
temperature burn may be caused.
− In places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature
of the recorder’s body may be
lower than the environmental
temperature. If possible, wear
gloves when handling the
recorder in cold temperatures.
Battery handling precautions
f Danger:
• The recorder uses a special lithium
ion battery from Olympus. Charge
the battery with the specified AC
adapter or charger. Do not use any
other AC adapters or chargers.
• The battery should never be
exposed to flame, heated, short-
circuited or disassembled.
• Never heat or incinerate battery.
• Take precautions when carrying or
storing batteries to prevent them
from coming into contact with any
metal objects such as jewelry, pins,
fasteners, etc.
• To prevent causing battery leaks or
damaging their terminals, carefully
follow all instructions regarding
the use of batteries. Never attempt
to disassemble a battery or modify
it in any way, solder, etc.
• If battery fluid gets into your eyes,
flush your eyes immediately with
clear, cold running water and seek
medical attention immediately.
f Warning:
• Keep batteries dry at all times.
• If rechargeable batteries have
not been recharged within the
specified time, stop charging them
and do not use them.
• Do not use a battery if it is cracked
or broken.
• Never subject batteries to strong
shocks or continuous vibration.
• If a battery leaks, becomes
discolored or deformed, or
becomes abnormal in any other
way during operation, stop using
the recorder.
• If a battery leaks fluid onto your
clothing or skin, remove the
clothing and flush the affected
area with clean, running cold water
immediately. If the fluid burns
your skin, seek medical attention
immediately.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of
children.
• If you notice anything unusual
when using this product such as
abnormal noise, heat, smoke, or a
burning odor:
1 remove the battery immediately
while being careful not to burn
yourself, and;
2 call your dealer or local Olympus
representative for service.
f Caution:
• The bundled/included
rechargeable battery is exclusively
for use with Olympus digital voice
recorder DS-3500.
− There is a risk of explosion if
the battery is replaced with the
incorrect battery type.
− Dispose of the used battery
following the instructions.
− Please recycle batteries to help
save our planet’s resources.
When you throw away dead
batteries, be sure to cover their
terminals and always observe
local laws and regulations.
• Always charge a rechargeable
battery when using it for the first
time, or if it has not been used for a
long period.
• Rechargeable batteries have
limited lifetime. When the
operating time becomes shorter
even if the rechargeable battery is
fully charged, replace it with a new
one.
LCD monitor
• The LCD used for the monitor
is made with high-precision
technology. However, black
spots or bright spots of light
may appear on the LCD Monitor.
Due to its characteristics or the
angle at which you are viewing
the monitor, the spot may not be
uniform in color and brightness.
This is not a malfunction.

f Warning:
• Do not touch the card contacts.
This may damage the card.
• Do not place the card in locations
with static electricity.
• Store the card in a location that is
out of the reach of children. In case
of accidental ingestion, consult a
physician immediately.
