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

ensure environmentally friendly disposal.

Using the AC Adapter

Use the AC adapter (included) in cases

where battery consumption is a concern,

such as when recording for extended

periods of time.

Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)

Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator

The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) is a

function that starts recording automatically when

the microphone senses that sounds have reached

a preset threshold volume level, and automatically

pauses when the volume drops below the threshold.

The VCVA feature allows you to conserve memory

by automatically stopping recording in instances like

long silent periods during meetings.

When this is enabled,

VCVA

will appear on the

display.

Set the VCVA in the menu to [On].

Refer to P.41 regarding each menu item settings.

Move the slide switch to the REC position to

start recording.

When the sound volume is lower than the preset

actuation sound level, recording automatically

stops after 1 second approximately, and “Stand

by” flashes on the display. The record/play indicator

light glows when recording starts and flashes when

recording pauses.

Adjust the Start/Stop Actuation Level

While the recorder is recording mode, press the

9 or 0 button to adjust the actuation level.

The VCVA level can be set to any of 15 different values.

The higher the value is, the more sensitive the recorder

can react to sounds. At the highest value, even the

faintest sound will activate recording.

The VCVA actuation level can be adjusted according

to the ambient (background) noise.

Notes

•The start/stop actuation level also varies depending on

the selected microphone sensitivity mode (☞P.31).

•To ensure successful recordings, prior testing and

adjustment of the start/stop actuation level is

recommended.
