Wi-Fi Function
Before using the Wi-Fi function
The voice recorder is equipped with a Wi-Fi function. Wi-Fi devices are certified by an
organization known as Wi-Fi Alliance that certifies that wireless LAN devices can be mutually
connected. In this manual, the wireless LAN functions are described collectively as “Wi-Fi”.
Smartphones can be connected to the voice recorder using radio signals. Because of wireless, as
long as the radio signal can reach the unit, flexible connection is possible. Radio signals extend
a certain range and can penetrate obstacles (wood, glass, etc.), thus even if the voice recorder
is placed another room, connection is possible. Using a special application for smartphones,
you can play back files recorded by the voice recorder. Also, the voice recorder can be operated
from a distance, as long as it is within the reach of the radio signal. For details, see our website.
What can you do with the Wi-Fi function?
sUse your smartphone to operate the voice recorder.
sCreate content files in which voice and images are synchronized.

To perform the above functions, you need to install the special application for smartphones
beforehand (☞P.93).

between the voice recorder and the Wi-Fi access point.
• Do not use the Wi-Fi function of the voice recorder in a hospital and airplane where its
use is prohibited.
• Near a microwave, cordless telephone set, or device that uses the 2.4GHz frequency
band, if the voice recorder is used at the same time with such a device, communication
performance may be affected. When using the voice recorder, keep a sufficient distance
away from such devices.

be detected correctly.
• To the extent possible, try not to use the voice recorder near mobile phones, televisions,
or radios.
Mobile phones, PHS, TV sets, and radios use different frequencies than the voice recorder
but electromagnetic waves generated from Wi-Fi products including this voice recorder
could generate noise in audio or video images.
• When using the Wi-Fi function, battery life is consumed quickly. If the battery runs out
during data transfer, the data may be damaged. Therefore, when using a Wi-Fi connection
we recommend that you use the AC adapter included with the voice recorder.

Before using the Wi-Fi function
Notes on security when using Wi-Fi products
• With a Wi-Fi connection, information is exchanged wirelessly between a smartphone and
the voice recorder and as long as radio signals reach the unit, flexible connection is possible.
However, because radio signals can penetrate through obstacles (wood, glass, etc.), if there is
no security-related setting, the following problems could occur.
•
A malicious third party intentionally intercepts radio signals to spy on communication
content.
•
•
•
Unauthorized intrusion causes the leaking of personal information.
Intercepted communication contents are rewritten and transmitted.
Destructive computer viruses are released that can destroy data or systems.
For security protection, we recommend the password be changed periodically using the [Wi-Fi]
function of the voice recorder (☞ P.74).
• Should a problem occur for an inevitable reason due to the specifications of the Wi-Fi
connection, we assume no responsibility whatsoever for any damage incurred.

FCC Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
●
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
●
●
•
•
•
Adjust or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
•
Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Only the OLYMPUS-
supplied USB cable should be used to connect the equipment to USB enabled personal
computers (PC).
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the user’s authority
to operate it.
DM-901 is equipped with WLAN device with IC and FCC ID:
–
–
FCC ID: RYYWYAAAVDX7,
IC: 4389B-WYAAAVDX7
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with
using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have
not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. DM-901
has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. SAR testing
has been done at a distance of 0 cm from the body.
Les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons n’ont mis en évidence aucun problème
de santé associé à l’usage des appareils sans fil à faible puissance. Nous ne sommes cependant
pas en mesure de prouver que ces appareils sans fil à faible puissance sont entièrement sans
danger. Les appareils sans fil à faible puissance émettent une énergie radioélectrique (RF) très
faible dans le spectre des micro-ondes lorsqu’ils sont utilisés. Alors qu’une dose élevée de RF
peut avoir des effets sur la santé (en chauffant les tissus), l’exposition à de faibles RF qui ne
produisent pas de chaleur n’a pas de mauvais effets connus sur la santé. De nombreuses études
ont été menées sur les expositions aux RF faibles et n’ont découvert aucun effet biologique.
Certaines études ont suggéré qu’il pouvait y avoir certains effets biologiques, mais ces résultats
n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherches supplémentaires. DM-901 a été testé et jugé
conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements énoncées pour un environnement non
contrôlé et respecte les règles les radioélectriques (RF) de la FCC lignes directrices d’exposition
dans le Supplément C à OET65 et d’exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de
l’IC. Le test SAR a été fait à distance de 0cm du corps.
