Safe and proper usage
Handling the recorder
f Warning:
• Keep the recorder out of the reach of children
and infants to prevent the following dangerous
situation that could cause serious injury:
1 Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or
other small parts.
2 Accidentally being injured by the moving parts
of the recorder.
• Do not disassemble, repair or modify the unit
yourself.
• Use SD/SDHC memory cards only. Never use
other types of cards.
If you accidentally 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.
f Caution:
• Stop using the recorder immediately if you
notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
Never remove the battery with bare hands,
which may cause a fire or burn your hands.
• 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. 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.
• In places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature of the
recorder’s body may be lower than the
environmental temperature. If possible, wear
gloves when handling the recorder in cold
temperatures.
Battery handling precautions
f Danger:
• Do not solder lead wires or terminals directly
onto a battery or modify it.
• Do not connect the = and - terminals
together. This may cause fire, overheating or
electric shock.
• When carrying or storing the battery, be sure
to put it in the provided case to protect its
terminals. Do not carry or store the battery
with any metal objects (such as key rings). If
this warning is not followed, fire, overheating
or electric shock may occur.
• Do not connect the batteries directly to a
power outlet or a cigarette lighter of an
automobile.
• Do not insert the batteries with their = and
- terminals reversed.
• If any liquid from a battery gets into your eyes,
promptly wash it off with clean water and
consult your doctor at once.
• There is a hole from which gas escapes on the
= terminal. Do not cover or block it.
f Warning:
• The battery should never be exposed to flame,
heated, short-circuited or disassembled.
• Do not attempt to recharge alkaline, lithium
or any other non-rechargeable batteries.
• Never use any battery with a torn or cracked
outer cover.
