Turning On/Off The Power - Olympus WS 700M Detailed Instructions

Notes
• This recorder is designed to fully charge
batteries regardless of their energy level.
However, for best results when charging
newly purchased rechargeable batteries
or batteries that have not been used for
a long time (more than one month), It is
recommended to fully charge the batteries
then discharge repeatedly for 2 to 3 times.
• When disposing rechargeable batteries,
always observe the local laws and
regulations. Contact you local recycling
center for proper disposal methods.
• If Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are 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.
