Rechargeable batteries
Read the information below carefully when using a nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery (model BR404).

Discharging
Rechargeable batteries discharge naturally when not in use. Be sure to charge the battery before use.

Operating temperature
Rechargeable batteries are chemical-based products. Their performance can vary even when used within the recommended operating temperature range. This variation is normal.
4
Recommended temperature ranges
When powering voice recorder: 0 to 42°C
(32 to 107.6°F)
When being charged: 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F)
During long-term storage: -20 to 30°C (-4 to 86°F)
Use of a rechargeable battery outside the temperature ranges above may result in drops in battery performance or life. When not using the voice recorder for an extended period, remove the rechargeable battery before storage to prevent fluid leakage or rust.
NOTE
• Due to the nature of nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries, new batteries and batteries not used for an extended period (one month or more) may not charge completely. The battery should become fully charged after charging and discharging the battery up to three times.
• Always dispose rechargeable batteries in the legally prescribed manner. Before disposing rechargeable batteries that are not fully discharged, take steps to prevent shorting such as insulating their terminals with tape.
• When buying rechargeable batteries, always select model BR404 nickelmetal hydride rechargeable batteries.
Operation is not guaranteed if a battery from another manufacturer is used.
• The continuous battery usage time of a nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery that has been used repeatedly will be reduced due to battery

• When replacing the battery, use an AAA alkaline dry cell battery or an Olympus nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery
(model BR404).
• Even if the battery indicator is [
], playback with the built-in speaker at some volumes may result in a drop in battery output voltage, causing the voice recorder to reset. Lower the volume in this case.
• The continuous battery usage time is reduced when using a microSD card
• The continuous battery usage time will vary depending on the performance of the
• The [Battery] screen appears automatically after you have replaced the battery. You can also use a menu operation to display this
