Notes

• When initializing (formatting) a card, confirm that no necessary data is stored on the card beforehand. Initialization completely erases the existing data on the card.

• Cards used in a recorder must be formatted in the same recorder first unless formatted with a

CAMEDIA series Olympus digital camera. Card may not perform as expected when formatted by a different device.

• The card has a service life. When reaching the end of its life, writing or erasing data on the card will be disabled. In this case, replace the card.

• If you use a PC card adapter compatible with the card to save or delete some data on the card, the maximum recording time on the card may be decreased. To recover the original recording time, initialize/ format the card in the recorder.

• Olympus will not be held liable for any data corruption or loss due to misuse of the media card.

1 Lightly press down on the arrow and slide the battery cover open.

Insert two AAA alkaline batteries, observing the correct polarity.

3 Close the battery cover completely.

Replacing batteries

The battery indicator on the display changes as the batteries lose power.

➜ ➜ ➜

When appears on the display, replace the batteries as soon as possible.

When the batteries are too weak, the recorder shuts down and “BATTERY LOW” appears on the display.

An optional Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery from Olympus can be used for the recorder (

☞ P.83).

....................................................................................................................................................

Notes

• Be sure to turn OFF the recorder before replacing the batteries. Removing the batteries while the recorder is in use may corrupt the card. If you are recording into a file and the batteries run out, you will lose your currently recorded file since the file header will not be written. It is crucial to replace the batteries when one hash mark in shown in the battery icon.

• Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time.

• Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types and/or brands.

• If it takes longer than 1 minute to replace dead batteries, you may have to reset the time when you load fresh batteries ( ☞ P.13).

• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.

Turning ON the Recorder

With the battery in the recorder and the card inserted properly, the recorder is ready to work.

While the power switch on the back of the recorder is in the

OFF position, none of the buttons or switch on the recorder will be active. Slide the power switch to the ON position to activate the recorder.

Power Save Mode

Setting Time/Date (TIME&DATE)

Setting the correct time and date on the recorder is very important since every file recorded on the recorder will have the date and time information as part of the file header. This will simplify the file management aspects later on.

The hour indicator will flash automatically when you load batteries before using the recorder for the first time, or after the recorder hasn’t been used for a long time.

2 Basic Operations

Recording

The recorder has five folders,

A, B, C, D, E and you can select folder by pressing the

FOLDER/MENU button. These five folders can be selectively used to distinguish the kind of recording; for example, Folder

A might be used to store private information, while Folder B might be dedicated to holding business information. You can use your DSS player to change a folder name (

☞ P.62). Up to 199 messages can be recorded per folder.

All recordings made in any of the folders will be in Digital Speech Standard (DSS) format. By default, the RECORD function is configured to record at the current position (overwrite). However, that can be changed to any of the following settings:

• Append: Appends the recording to the end of the current file.

• Insert: Inserts the recording at the current position in the file.

• Overwrite: Overwrites the recording starting at the current position in the file.

Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset threshold volume level, the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops below the threshold level.

The VCVA feature extends recording time and conserves memory by turning off recording during silent periods. This helps make the playback, with no lulls or dead space, more efficient and convenient.

4 Preparation Before Using DSS Player

Using DSS Player Software

4

The DSS Player Software can be used to do the following:

• Playback voice files on your PC and on the recorder when connected via USB. Download files from the recorder to the PC or upload files from the PC to the recorder.

• If an upgrade (Option) to DSS Player Plus is executed, various additional functions can be utilized (

☞P.65).

Precautions on using the recorder connected to a PC

● When you are downloading a file from the recorder or uploading a file to the recorder, do not remove the USB cable even if the screen is indicating you can.

Data is still being transferred while the record/play indicator lamp is blinking.

When removing the USB cable, be sure to follow the description in ☞P.51. If the

USB cable is removed before the drive is stopped, data may not be successfully transferred.

● On a PC, do not format the drive of the recorder. Initialization is not successfully achieved on a PC. For initialization, follow the instructions in the menu screen of the recorder (

☞ P.41).

● Folder (directory) names displayed by file management tools such as Explorer attached to Microsoft Windows and

Finder attached to Mac OS are different from the folder names settable with the recorder or DSS player.

● If folders or files stored on the recorder are moved or renamed by using a file management tool such as Explorer or

Finder, the order of files may be changed or files may become unrecognizable.

● Data can be written or uploaded to the recorder even though the attribute of the recorder drive is shown as Readonly by the operating system of the PC.

● As the noise may cause adverse effects on electronic devices nearby the recorder, unplug the earphone when you connect the recorder to a PC.
