Cautions Concerning the Battery
Warning
•
Using batteries for which part or all
of the external coating (insulating
sheath) is peeling off or batteries
which have ruptured may cause fluid
leaks, overheating, and explosions.
For this reason such batteries should
absolutely not be used.
Insert two AAA batteries, observing the
correct polarity as shown in the
illustration below, then close the battery
cover.
2
•
Commercially available batteries for
which part or all of the external
coating (insulation sheath) has been
peeled off should absolutely not be
used.
Unusable batteries
Insert the batteries in the direction inscribed on
the inside of the recorder’s battery compartment.
In addition, when inserting the batteries, insert
them so that the tape is under the batteries, as
shown in the illustration. The batteries can then
be removed easily by pulling up the tape. When
pulling on the tape the batteries may suddenly
pop out, so be sure to press down lightly on
the batteries with your finger while pulling.
Batteries for which the entire external coating
(insulating sheath) is peeled off (naked batteries),
or those where it has partially been peeled off.

Installing Batteries
Notes
• Be sure to turn OFF the recorder before replacing
the batteries. Removing the batteries while the recorder
is in use may corrupt the card. If you are recording into
a file and the batteries run out, you will lose your
currently recorded file since the file header will not be
written. It is crucial to replace the batteries when one
hash mark is shown in the battery icon.
1
• 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 new
batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the
recorder for an extended period of time.

Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)
The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)
is a function that starts recording automatically
when the microphone senses that sounds have
reached a preset threshold volume level, and
automatically pauses when the volume drops
below the threshold. The VCVA feature allows
you to conserve memory by automatically
stopping recording in instances like long silent
periods during meetings.
Press the RECbutton to start recording.
When the sound volume is lower than the preset
actuation sound level, recording automatically
stops after 1 second approximately, and “Stand
by” flashes on the display. The record indicator

(Record indicator)
appears when recording starts and flashes when

The VCVA level can be set to any of 15 different

• The start/stop actuation level also varies depending on

• To ensure successful recordings, prior testing and

recommended.
• If the recorder detects an input that exceeds the Start
level, the dotted line of the Level meter indicator will
change to the full line, and the recorder starts recording.
