Using the AC Adapter
Plug the AC adapter (optional) into a
household power outlet and connect the
power plug to the recorder’s power con-
nector (DC 5V). Always turn the recorder’s
power off before connecting.
If the AC adapter is plugged in while
recording using batteries, it may not be
possible to play back the voice data being
recorded.
• Check the Olympus website regarding
AC adapters which can be used with this
recorder.
f
Warning
• Always turn the recorder’s power
off before connection or discon-
nection.
• When the AC adapter is not in use,
disconnect the power supply plug
from the power outlet.
• Use only the correct power sup-
ply voltage as indicated on the
adapter.
• Do not use the AC adapter when
connecting the recorder to the
USB port.
Notes
• This recorder cannot charge rechargeable
batteries.
• Manganese battery may not be used in this
recorder.
• When changing batteries, AA alkaline batteries
or Olympus Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries are
recommended.
• Be sure to turn off power of the recorder before
replacing the batteries (☞ P.13). Unloading the
batteries while the recorder is in use may cause
a malfunction such as corrupting the file, etc. If
you are recording into a file and the batteries
run out, you will loose your currently recorded
file because the file header will not be able to
close. It is crucial to change the batteries once
you see only one Hash mark in the battery
indicator.
• If it takes longer than 15 minutes to replace the
dead battery or if you take the battery in and
out repeatedly at short intervals, you may have
to reset the time when you have loaded a fresh
battery (☞ P.15).
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use
the recorder for an extended period of time.
• When playing a voice/music file, the recorder
may be reset due to the reduction of the voltage
output of the battery depending on the volume
level even if [ ] is displayed in the battery
indicator. In this case, lower the volume of the
recorder.
