Preventing Accidental Operation; Setting Hold Mode; Releasing Hold Mode - Olympus WS-853 User Manual

Preventing accidental operation

Setting the voice recorder to HOLD mode maintains the current operation and disables button
operations. HOLD mode is a handy feature for preventing unintentional operation from
accidentally pressing the button when the voice recorder is carried in a bag or pocket. It is also
useful for preventing the voice recorder being accidentally stopped during recording.

Setting HOLD mode

1
While the recorder is in recording
mode or playback mode, slide
the POWER switch to the [OFF/
HOLD] position.
• [Hold] appears in the display, and the
recorder enters HOLD mode.
NOTE
• When any button is pressed during HOLD mode, [Hold] appears in the display for 2
seconds. No other operation is performed.
• Setting HOLD mode during voice recorder playback (or recording) continues the playback
(or recording) operation and prevents any other operation from being performed (The
power turns off when playback ends or when recording ends because, for example, there
is no remaining memory space).

Releasing HOLD mode

1
Slide the POWER switch to the
[ON] position.
