H5 Handy Recorder instructions
Opening and closing the case
Slide the two handles on either side of the right edge outward, and then you can open the case
up. Do the opposite to close the case.
Charging batteries
Plug the included Xpix 4-AA battery recharger into a power outlet.
Insert any number 1-4 AA batteries into the recharger. The + side of the rechargeable batteries
goes closer to the Xpix logo, the - side goes further away from the Xpix logo.
Wait a while while the batteries charge.
Insert batteries into the H5
The H5 Handy Recorder requires two AA batteries because it assumes that you're going to be
using it on the go. There are lots of other microphones that are more optimized for stationary
recording. This recorder is best for being used out and about.
Pull the tab down where it says OPEN on the back of the unit.
Use the strap to pull out existing batteries if you need to remove dead/malfunctioning batteries.
Insert rechargeable batteries with the - sides by the springs on opposite sides of the battery
compartment.
Close up the back by reinserting the plastic cover, and you're ready to go!
