Battery Notes
• Dispose of batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries
or batteries of different types,
capacities, or chemistries.
• If you do not plan to use the
recorder with battery for a month
or more, remove the battery.
Batteries can leak chemicals that
can damage electronic parts.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
earphone guidelines:
•
Set the recorder to the lowest
volume before you turn it on, then
adjust the volume to a comfortable
level.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-
volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
• After you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones or headphones
while operating a motor vehicle or
riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic
hazard and could be illegal in some
areas. Even though some earphones
or headphones let you hear outside
sounds, they still can present a traffic
hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and Retain Instructions — Safety and operating instructions
should be read prior to use. The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
Heed Warnings — Follow all warnings on the device and in the
instructions.
Cleaning — Unplug this device from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Clean only as recommended by the manufacturer. Clean
by wiping with a cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid getting
water inside the device. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Water and Moisture — Do not use this device near water (for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in
a wet basement; or near a swimming pool).
Accessories — Do not place device on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The device may fall, causing injury to a
child or adult, and damage the device. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer
or sold with the device. Follow the manufacturer’s mounting
instructions, and use a recommended mounting accessory.
Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide
ventilation, ensure reliable operation, and protect from
overheating. Do not block or cover these openings, and do not
place the device on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do
not place the device in a built-in installation such as a bookcase
or rack unless it provides proper ventilation as specified by the
manufacturer.
Heat — The device should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices that
produce heat.
Power Sources — Use this device with the power source indicated
on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home’s power type,
consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
Grounding or Polarization — This product is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If you still are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, outlets,
and the point where they exit from the device.
Non-use Periods — The device’s power cord should be
unplugged from the outlet when it is to be left unused for a long
period of time.
Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
other outlets. This can result in fire or electric shock.
Objects and Liquids — Never spill liquids or push objects of
any kind into this device through openings, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock.
Carts and Stands — If the device is used with a cart or stand, the
cart or stand should be a type recommended by the manufacturer.
A device and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces cause the device and
cart combination to overturn.
Damage Requiring Service — Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under these conditions:
* When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
* Liquid was spilled or objects fell in the device.
* If the device has been exposed to rain or water.
* If the device does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the device to normal operation.
* If the device has been dropped or damaged.
* When there a distinct change in performance.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service this device yourself,
as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are needed, use
only parts specified by the manufacturer or parts with the same
characteristics as the original part. Substitutions may result in fire
or electric shock.
Safety Check — Upon completion of service or repairs, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to determine if the
device is in operating condition.
Lightning — For added protection during a lightning storm, or
when the device is unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet. This prevents damage due to lightning and power
surges.
Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by
the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The product should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
