Places to Avoid
Do not leave the unit in the following places, whether
operating or stored. Doing so could lead to a
malfunction.
• Places subject to very high temperatures. The inside of
a car with the windows closed in hot sun can reach an
extremely high temperature, and if the unit is left there
it may be deformed or malfunction.
• Places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating
equipment. The unit may be deformed or malfunction.
• Places subject to extreme vibration
• Places subject to strong magnetic fields
• Sand dunes, sandy beaches, and other places subject to
blown sand. At the seashore and in other sandy
locations where there may be blown sand, ensure that
the sand does not reach the unit. This could cause not
only a malfunction, but in some cases render the unit
unrepairable.
Operation
• Do not operate where the unit would be exposed to a
powerful electromagnetic radiation. Recording and
playback may not function correctly.
• Do not operate close to a television or radio receiver.
There may be interference from the television or radio
receiver.
• Do not connect the AC adaptor/charger or charger to
an electronic voltage-changer. This may cause heat to
be generated, or lead to malfunction.
Care of the Unit
If the unit is dirty, clean it by wiping with a soft cloth.
• If very dirty, use a cloth steeped in diluted mild
detergent and wrung out well to wipe the unit clean,
then finish off with a dry cloth.
• Do not use alcohol, thinners, or other organic solvents.
These can cause the material of the unit to deteriorate,
or remove the finish.
• If using a chemically impregnated cloth, follow the
instructions supplied with the cloth.
• Avoid getting volatile liquids such as insecticides on
the unit, or leaving it in contact with rubber or plastic
products for a long time, as this can cause the material
of the unit to deteriorate, or remove the finish.
