the recorder says low battery. When I plug it into the charger or a computer, it will not charge

The Olympus DM-720 recorder may not charge when plugged into a charger or computer for the following reasons:

1. Incorrect Battery Type: The recorder only supports charging with Olympus rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. If an alkaline, lithium, or other non-rechargeable battery is inserted, charging will not work.

2. Battery Setting: The [Battery] setting must be set to [Ni-MH] in the recorder’s menu. If this setting is incorrect, charging will not start.

3. Power Source Issues:
- If charging via a computer, the PC must be powered on. Charging will not occur if the PC is off.
- If using an AC adapter, only the Olympus USB connecting AC adapter (model A514) should be used.

4. Charging Confirmation: When [Battery] is set to [Ni-MH], the display shows [Press OK to start charging]. The user must press the `OK` button while this message blinks to begin charging.

If these conditions are not met, the recorder will not charge despite showing a low battery.
