Cautions concerning the battery:
Read the following instructions
carefully when you use the battery.
Discharging:
Rechargeable batteries self-discharge
while not in use. Charge it regularly
before use.
Battery life:
Over time, the rechargeable battery
may gradually wear down. When
the operating time becomes shorter
even if the rechargeable battery is
fully charged under the specified
condition, replace it with a new one.
Operating temperature:
Rechargeable batteries are chemical
products. Battery efficiency may vary
even when operating within the
recommended temperature range.
This is an inherent nature of these
products.
Recommended temperature range
of use:
During operation:
0°C - 42°C
Charging:
5°C - 35°C
Storage for a long period:
–20°C - 60°C
Using the battery outside the above
temperature range may result in
declining efficiency and shorter
battery life.
Notes:
• When disposing the batteries,
always observe the local laws and
regulations. Contact your local
recycling center for proper disposal
methods.
• If battery is not fully discharged,
protect it against short-circuiting
(e.g. by taping the contacts) before
disposal.
For customers in Germany:
Olympus has a contract with the GRS
(Joint Battery Disposal Association) in
Germany to ensure environmentally
friendly disposal.
Power supply from AC adapter or
USB cable
Use the AC adapter or USB cable
when recording for extended period
of time.
The "Standard" version of the DS-
7000 does not include the docking
station and the AC adapter (optional).
Using the AC adapter:
Plug the AC adapter into a household
power outlet and connect the power
plug to the recorder via the docking
station. Always turn off the recorder
before you connect power.
Detecting abnormal voltage:
If the recorder detects a DC power
voltage outside the allowed voltage
range (4.4-5.5V), then [ Power
Supply Error Remove Power Plug ]
will appear on the display, and all
operation will stop. The recorder will
not be operable if abnormal voltage
is detected. Use the AC adapter.
Using the USB cable:
1 Verify that the recorder is in stop
mode.
2 Connect the USB cable to the
recorder while pressing the
OK/MENU button.
