The Olympus DS-40 digital recorder uses a combination of Phillips #00 and Phillips #0 screws. The Phillips #00 screws are used for the battery compartment cover, while the Phillips #0 screws are used for the rest of the recorder.

Olympus does not sell replacement screws for the DS-40. However, you can usually find these screws at most hardware stores.

Here is a table of the screws used in the Olympus DS-40:

Location Screw Type Size

Battery compartment cover Phillips #00

Rest of recorder Phillips #0
