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

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

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

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.
