Noise may be heard when the recorder is
placed near an AC power source, a
fluorescent lamp, or a mobile phone during
recording or playback.
Noise may be recorded when an object,
such as your finger, etc., rubs or scratches
the recorder during recording.

On safety

Do not operate the recorder while driving,
cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle.

On handling

Do not subject the recorder to strong
shock or vibration. Doing so may cause a

On the built-in microphones

The built-in microphones are
high-performance electret condenser
microphones. Do not expose them to strong
wind or water.



On maintenance

When the exterior is dirty, clean the surface
gently with a soft cloth slightly moistened in
water, and then wipe it again with a dry
cloth. Do not use alcohol, benzene, or
thinner, etc., to avoid damaging the finish.

To avoid potential risk of data loss caused by
accidental operation or malfunction of the
recorder, we recommend that you save a
backup copy of your recorded tracks on a
computer.
