Using the Battery Pack
Using the Battery Pack
The battery pack is exclusively for use with
Olympus voice recorder DS-5000/5000iD.
Never use them in combination with other
equipment.
Discharging
Battery pack self-discharge while this is not in
use. Be sure to charge them regularly before
use.
Battery life
Over time, rechargeable battery packs
gradually wear down. If you charge you battery
pack regularly and you notice a decrease in
usage time, then it is probably time to purchase
a new battery pack.
Operating temperature
Rechargeable batteries, such as the battery
pack, are chemical products. Batteries
efficiency may fluctuate even when operating
within the recommended temperature range.
This is an inherent nature of such products.
Recommended temperature range for
use
Discharging (when using appliance):
0°C - 42°C/32°F - 107.6°F
Charging:
5°C - 40°C/41°F - 104°F
Storage:
–20°C - 30°C/–4°F - 86°F
Using the battery pack outside the above
temperature range may result in declining
efficiency and shorter battery life.
In order to prevent battery leakage or rust,
remove the battery pack from the products
when you will not be using them for a long time,
and store them separately.
Notes
• This recorder is designed to fully charge battery
pack regardless of their energy level. However, for
best results when charging newly purchased battery
pack or battery pack that have not been used for a
long time (more than one month), It is recommended
to fully charge the battery pack then discharge
repeatedly for 2 to 3 times.
• When disposing battery packs, always observe the local
laws and regulations. Contact you local recycling center
for proper disposal methods.
• If Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack is 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
