The batteries in my Olympus VN-410PC digital voice recorder drain out very quickly. I put new batteries in them and they drain out very quickly.

    Thank you for your reply. I further analyzed the problem and I realized that the battery was draining while the recording device was turned off. It was in hold. The batteries were new batteries designed for digital devices. After 5 days the battery voltage dipped from 1.59 to 1.001. I never even used the device. You said that the terminals were bridged. Does it mean that there is a short circuit near the terminals. I looked for one but couldn't find it. Do you have any more solutions after what I wrote above?

Hello daved8520,
First of all, you need to check the quality of the kind of battery you use in the voice recorder as some batteries are not good enough to power up this device for longer hours.
If the battery is original and still gets drained faster than normal. Then it is clear that the recorder kills the cells of the batteries. And the reason it will be doing that is because there is a bridge in the terminals of the recorder.
If the negative and positive of the terminals get bridged, they tend to kill the cells of any battery it comes in contact with faster.
The solution to such problem is simply for you to have the terminal of the voice recorder replaced and it wont kill the cells of the battery in it anymore.
Hope this information helped. Goodluck Elect_Comp

take out the batteries , push the reset button, then put batteries back and try again.

If still not working properly , then it probably should go back to Olympus, if you bought it a few years ago , its probably out of warranty.

You can buy a newer model like the vn-6200-pc , which has way more memory and more features for much much less then it will cost to repair the vn-100 or vn-2000 , f

Recherche pilote pour vn-4100pc pour vista premium

Purchased an Olympus VN-4100PV digital voice recorder a couple of months ago at Radioshack. (no software came with it)
Recently purchased new PC with Vista 64-bit. Recorder will not work. Called Olympus today, 12-3-08 and was told no driver is going to be issued to remedy this situation, thus rendering my device useless.
Thanks for nothing Olympus product support.

Olympus VN-2100 Voice Recorder

vn-2100 does not have that capability...the vn-2100pc does... to download from vn-2100, you will need a compaticord to put in the ear on the recorder and the mic of the computer or device and transfer that way
