Notes  
When initializing (formatting) a card, confirm that no necessary data is stored on the card beforehand.  
Initialization completely erases the existing data on the card.  
Cards used in a recorder must be formatted in the same recorder first unless formatted with a  
CAMEDIA series Olympus digital camera. Card may not perform as expected when formatted by a different device.  
The card has a service life. When reaching the end of its life, writing or erasing data on the card will be  
disabled. In this case, replace the card.  
If you use a PC card adapter compatible with the card to save or delete some data on the card, the maximum  
recording time on the card may be decreased. To recover the original recording time, initialize/format the  
card in the recorder.  
Olympus will not be held liable for any data corruption or loss due to misuse of media card.

Insert two AAA alkaline batteries, observing the  
correct polarity.  
Close the battery cover completely.  
Replacing batteries  
The battery indicator on the display changes as the batteries  
lose power.  
When  
appears on the display, replace the batteries as  
soon as possible.  
When the batteries are too weak, the recorder shuts down  
and BATTERY LOWappears on the display. AAA alkaline  
batteries are recommended.  
An optional Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery from Olympus  
can be used for the recorder (  
P.81).  
.................................................................................................................................................................  
Notes  
Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the batteries. Unloading the batteries while the recorder  
is in use may corrupt the file. If you are recording into a file and the batteries run out, you will lose your  
currently recorded file because the file header will not be able to close. It is crucial to change the batteries  
once you see only one Hash mark in the battery icon.  
Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time.  
Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types and/or brands.  
If it takes longer than 1 minute to replace dead batteries, you may have to reset the time when you load  
fresh batteries (P.12).  
Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.

Recording  
The recorder provides five folders, A, B, C, D and E, and each message recorded in a folder is  
saved as a Digital Speech Standard (DSS) file or a Windows MediaAudio (WMA) file. These five  
folders can be selectively used to distinguish the kind of recording; for example, Folder A might  
be used to store private information, while Folder B might be dedicated to holding business  
information. Up to 199 messages can be recorded per folder.

Using DSS Player Software  
The DSS Player Software can be used to do the following:  
Playback voice files on your PC and on the recorder when connected via USB. Download files  
from the recorder to the PC or upload files from the PC to the recorder.  
Precautions on using the recorder connected to a PC  
G When you are downloading a file from  
the recorder or uploading a file to the  
recorder, do not remove the USB cable  
even if the screen is indicating you can.  
Data is still being transferred while the  
record/play indicator lamp is blinking.  
If the USB cable is removed before the  
drive is stopped, data may not be  
successfully transferred.  
G If folders or files stored on the recorder  
are moved or renamed by using a file  
management tool such as Explorer or  
Finder, the order of files may be  
changed or files may become  
unrecognizable.  
5
G Data can be written or uploaded to the  
recorder even though the attribute of the  
recorder drive is shown as Read-only  
by the operating system of the PC.  
G Do NOT format the card using your PC. If  
you do, the recorder will not be able to  
recognize the card. Only format the cards  
using either the recorder or the Olympus  
CAMEDIA digital camera (P.51).  
G As the noise may cause adverse effects  
on electronics devices nearby the  
recorder, unplug the earphone and  
remote controller when you connect the  
recorder to a PC.  
G Folder (directory) names displayed by  
file management tools such as Explorer  
attached to Microsoft Windows and  
Finder attached to Mac OS are different  
from the folder names settable with the  
recorder or DSS player.
