replacing the batteries. Unloading the

the fi le header will not be able to close.
It is crucial to change the batteries once
you see only one Hash mark in the battery
indicator.
• If it takes longer than 1 minute to replace
the dead batteries or if you take the
batteries in and out repeatedly at short
intervals, you may have to reset the time
when you have loaded fresh batteries
(☞ P.15).
• Remove the batteries if you are not going
to use the recorder for an extended period
of time.
• When playing a voice/music fi le, the
recorder may be reset due to the
reduction of the voltage output of the
batteries depending on the volume level
even if [8] is displayed in the battery
indicator. In this case, lower the volume of
the recorder.
• When replacing rechargeable batteries, be
sure to use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries
(optional). The use of other manufacturers'
products can damage the recorder and
should be avoided.
