Replacing batteries
When appears on the display, replace the batteries as
soon as possible. When the batteries are depleted,
flashes on the display, and the recorder shuts off. AAA alkaline
batteries are recommended.
It is recommended to set the HOLD switch to the HOLD position
before you replace batteries to maintain the current settings
(time/date, etc.). For your convenience,the recorder also logs
the current settings in nonvolatile memory at hourly intervals.

Notes
• Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the batteries. Unloading the batteries while the recorder
is recording, erasing or otherwise accessing a audio file 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. So, it is crucial to change the batteries once you see only one 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.
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.
