Safety precautions
Disposing the rechargeable
battery
s Recycling batteries helps saving
resources. When disposing a used
battery, always cover its terminals
and observe local laws and regula-
tions.
Operating precautions
• Do not leave the voice recorder in hot or
humid locations such as in direct sunlight
inside a vehicle, or on a beach during
summer.
• Do not store the voice recorder in humid
or dusty locations.
• If the voice recorder becomes wet or
damp, wipe off the moisture right away
with a dry cloth. Contact with salt water
should be particularly avoided.
• Do not place the voice recorder on top of
or near a TV, refrigerator or other electrical
appliance.
• Prevent sand or mud from getting on the
voice recorder. It may cause product not to
be repairable.
• Do not subject the voice recorder to
intense vibrations or shocks.
• Do not use the voice recorder in humid
locations.
• Placing a magnetic card (such as a bank
cash card) near the speaker or earphones
may cause errors in the data stored on the
magnetic card.
<Radio reception precaution>
• Reception quality will vary greatly
depending on where the radio is being
used. If the reception is poor, try moving
the voice recorder near a window and
away from electric appliances such as
mobile phones, TVs or fluorescent lights.
<Data loss precautions>
• Recorded content in the internal memory
and microSD card may be destroyed or
lost due to reasons such as operating
errors, device failure or repair.
• Also, when content is saved in the
memory for long period of time or is used
repeatedly, operations such as writing to,
reading from, or erasing of contents may
not be possible.
• Making a backup of important recorded
information and saving it on a PC’s
hard disk or other recording media is
recommended.
• Note that Olympus will assume no liability
for damages or lost earnings resulting
from recorded data damage or loss,
regardless of the nature or cause thereof.
<Recorded file precautions>
• Note that Olympus will assume no
liability for recorded files being erased
or becoming unplayable due to voice
recorder or PC failure.
• Recording of copyrighted material is
permitted when the recording is for your
personal use only. Any other type of use
without the permission of the copyright
owner is prohibited by copyright law.
<Voice recorder and microSD cards
disposal precautions>
• Even when formatting (
☞ P.91) or
erasing (
☞ P.46) are performed, only
the file management information of the
internal memory and/or microSD card
is updated and the recorded data is not
completely erased.
When disposing of the voice recorder or a
microSD card, be sure to destroy it, format
and record silence until the recording time
runs out, or perform a similar operation in
order to prevent the leakage of personal
information.
