Preventing Accidental Operation; Setting Hold Mode; Releasing Hold Mode - Olympus DM-7 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
accidental button presses 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
Slide the POWER/HOLD switch to
the [HOLD] position.
• [Hold] appears in the display, and the
recorder enters HOLD mode.
NOTE
• If you press any button when the unit is in hold status, the LED indicator light flashes in
blue but nothing happens.
• Setting HOLD mode during voice recorder playback (or recording) continues the playback
(or recording) operation and prevents any other operation from being performed (the
voice recorder stops when playback ends, or recording stops when there is no more
available memory).

Releasing HOLD mode

1
