09 July, 2018

The top of the range digital dictaphone from Olympus, the DS-9500 comes in a kit. All of the parts in the kit can be replaced, with the exception of the recorder itself, so if you need another dock, spare battery or have lost you carry case these are the part numbers you will need:

Olympus DS-9500 USB Cable - KP-30

The USB cable allows the DS-9500 to be connected to your Mac or Windows PC and allows the file transfer. The USB cable can be connected into the back of the CR-21 dock or directly into the bottom of the DS-9500.

Olympus DS-9500 Rechargeable Battery - Li92B

Over time the rechargeable battery in your DS-9500 dictaphone will degrade with the constant charge/discharge cycle. When it does you will need a replacement battery which is part Li-92B. Note that the battery can fit into the DS9500 two different ways, only one way will work.

Olympus DS-9500 Docking Station/Cradle - CR-21

This handy little unit serves two purposes, to recharge the battery in the DS-9500 and to facilitate cordless transfer of data between your dictaphone and your computer. Note that the CR-21 is just the cradle, if you are looking to set up a separate desk you will also need the power supply (A517) and the USB cable (KP-30).

Olympus DS-9500 Software Licence Key for Windows & Mac - AS-9001

This square green piece of paper that comes in the box is very important. It is your unique licence key for the installation of the Olympus ODMS R7 Dictation Module on a Windows PC and DSS Player Plus v7 on a Mac. Only you will know this number so it must be kept safe. The Olympus software licence is a single install licence, so if you want to use the Olympus software on another PC or Mac you will need to buy another licence OR if you computer crashes and you can not find the original green square licence key. So, keep your licence key safe.

Olympus DS-9500 Carry Case - CS-151

This is the power supply that fits into the back of the CR-21 dock and is used to charge the DS-9500 when in the cradle. It can not be plugged directly into the recorder, the recorder can only be charged out of the dock via the USB cable KP-20
