Directly Charging Through the  
Recorder  
Notes  
• Charge the battery pack often for first few uses. Battery  
pack performs better after several full charge/discharge  
cycles.  
The Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Pack in the  
recorder can be charged by connecting an AC  
adapter or USB cable to the recorder.  
• Battery packs other than the supplied battery pack  
cannot be charged.  
• If you charge the battery pack right after charging is  
complete, it will take only few minutes to charge the  
battery pack.  
1
Charging using AC Adapter (no cradle)  
• The PC must be ON when charging battery pack via  
the USB cable connection.  
Connect the AC adapter to the recorder.  
For connection procedures, see P.21.  
When using the adapter for charging, connect the  
power plug to the recorder power jack.  
• Charging battery pack via the USB cable connection  
may not be successful depending on the power supply  
capacity of your PC. Use the AC adapter instead.  
• Do not set or remove the recorder from the cradle while  
it is in operation.  
• Do not charge the recorder with the USB hub connected.  
• Do not attach or remove the rechargeable battery pack  
if the AC adapter or USB cable is connected.  
Charging using the USB cable (no cradle)  
While recorders POWER switch is turned  
OFF,connect the USB cable to the recorder.  
When the recorder is connected to a USB cable while  
its POWER switch is turned OFF, only charging will  
be performed, and the computer will not recognize it  
as a drive.

Using the Battery Pack  
The battery pack is exclusively for use with  
Olympus voice recorder DS-5000/DS-5000iD.  
Never use them in combination with other  
equipment.  
Using the battery pack outside the above  
temperature range may result in declining  
efficiency and shorter battery life.  
In order to prevent battery leakage or rust,  
remove the battery pack from the products  
when you will not be using them for a long time,  
and store them separately.  
Discharging  
1
Battery pack self-discharge while this is not in  
use. Be sure to charge them regularly before  
use.  
Notes  
This recorder is designed to fully charge battery  
pack regardless of their energy level. However, for  
best results when charging newly purchased battery  
pack or battery pack that have not been used for a  
long time (more than one month), It is recommended  
to fully charge the battery pack then discharge  
repeatedly for 2 to 3 times.  
Battery life  
Over time, rechargeable battery packs  
gradually wear down. If you charge you battery  
pack regularly and you notice a decrease in  
usage time, then it is probably time to purchase  
a new battery pack.  
• When disposing battery packs, always observe the local  
laws and regulations. Contact you local recycling center  
for proper disposal methods.  
• If Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack is not fully  
discharged, protect against short-circuiting (e.g. by  
taping the contacts) before disposing.  
Operating temperature  
Rechargeable batteries, such as the battery  
pack, are chemical products. Batteries  
efficiency may fluctuate even when operating  
within the recommended temperature range.  
This is an inherent nature of such products.  
For customers in Germany  
Olympus has a contract with the GRS (Joint  
Battery Disposal Association) in Germany to  
ensure environmentally friendly disposal.  
Recommended temperature range for  
use  
Discharging (when using appliance):  
0°C - 42°C/32°F - 107.6°F  
Charging:  
5°C - 40°C/41°F - 104°F  
Storage:  
–20°C - 30°C/–4°F - 86°F

Using the AC Adapter  
Use the AC adapter (included) in cases  
where battery consumption is a concern,  
such as when recording for extended  
periods of time.  
Plug the AC adapter (included) into a  
household power outlet and  
connect the power plug to the recorder’s  
power connector (DC 5V). Always turn off  
the recorder before you connect power.  
Refer to P.18-19 regarding supplying power  
to the recorder and cradle with the aim of  
charging the Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery  
Pack (P.16).  
Warning  
• Always stop recording before  
connecting or disconnecting  
power.  
• When the AC adapter is not in use,  
disconnect the power supply plug  
from the power outlet.  
1
• Use only the correct power supply  
voltage as indicated on the  
adapter.  
Detecting abnormal voltage  
If the recorder detects a DC power  
voltage outside of the allowable voltage  
(allowable voltage: 4.6 to 5.5 V), then  
[Power Supply Error Remove Power  
Plug] will appear on the display and all  
operations will stop. The recorder will  
not be operable while abnormal voltage  
is detected. Use the included AC  
adapter.

Notes  
Ejecting a SD card  
Insert the card keeping it straight.  
The card stops with a click when it is inserted all  
the way.  
Inserting the card the wrong way or at an angle  
could damage the contact area or cause the card  
to jam.  
If the card is not inserted all the way, data may not  
be written to the card.  
Push the SD card inward once to unlock it,  
and let it eject.  
Hold the card straight and pull it out.  
If a unformatted card is installed, the recorder will  
automatically display the menu format option (P.64).  
Never use any card in the recorder unless it has been  
formatted on this unit (P.64).  
Never remove the card while the recorder is in  
operation. This may damage the data.  
Releasing your finger quickly after pushing the card  
inward may cause it to eject forcefully out of the slot.
