Handling the recorder
f
Warning:
• Do not use the recorder near
flammable or explosive gases.
• Keep young children and infants
away from the recorder.
Always use and store the recorder out of
the reach of young children and infants to
prevent the following dangerous situations
which could cause serious injury:
1
Becoming entangled in the recorder
strap, causing strangulation.
2
Accidentally swallowing the battery,
cards or other small parts.
3
Accidentally being injured by the
moving parts of the recorder.
• Do not use or store the recorder
in dusty or humid places.
• Do not disassemble, repair or
modify the unit yourself.
• Use
microSD/microSDHC
memory
cards only. Never use other types
of cards.
If you accidently insert another type
of card into the recorder, contact an
authorized distributor or service center.
Do not try to remove the card by force.
• Do not operate the unit while
operating a vehicle (such as a
bicycle, motorcycle, or car).
f
Caution:
• Stop using the recorder
immediately if you notice any
unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
Never remove the batteries with bare
hands, which may cause a fire or burn
your hands.
• Be careful with the strap.
Be careful with the strap when you carry
the recorder. It could easily catch on stray
objects and cause serious damage.
• Do not leave the recorder in
places where it may be subject to
extremely high temperatures.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate
and, in some circumstances, cause the
recorder to catch fire. Do not use the
charger or AC adapter if it is covered
(such as a blanket). This could cause
overheating, resulting in fire.
• Handle the recorder with care to
avoid getting a low-temperature
burn.
• When the recorder contains metal
parts, overheating can result in a low-
temperature burn. Pay attention to the
following:
• When used for a long period, the
recorder will get hot. If you hold on
to the recorder in this state, a low-
temperature burn may be caused.
