8 Additional Information
8.1 Precautions
On safety
Do not operate the unit while driving, cycling or operating any
motorized Vehicle.
On noise
On handling
Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
Noise may be heard when the unit is placed near an AC power
source, a fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during recording or
playback.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, remove the
battery and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
Be careful not to allow water to splash on the unit. The unit is not
waterproof. In particular, be careful in the following situations.
- When you have the unit in your pocket and go to the bathroom,
etc. When you bend down, the unit may drop into the water and
may get wet.
- When you use the unit in an environment where the unit is
exposed to rain, snow, or humidity.
- In circumstances where you get sweaty. If you touch the unit with
wet hands or if you put the unit in the pocket of sweaty clothes, the
unit may get wet.
You may feel pain in your ears if you use the headphones when
the ambient air is very dry. This is not because of a malfunction of
the headphones, but because of static electricity accumulated in
your body. You can reduce static electricity by wearing
non-synthetic clothes that prevent the emergence of static
electricity.
