Safety precautions
• Avoid recording or playing back near
cellular phones or other wireless
equipment, as they may cause
interference and noise. If you experience
noise, move to another place, or move
the recorder further away from such
equipment.
• Do not use organic solvents such as
alcohol and lacquer thinner to clean the
unit.
Warning regarding data loss:
• Recorded content in memory may be destroyed or
erased by operating mistakes, unit malfunction, or
during repair work. It is recommended to back up
and save important content to other media such
as a computer hard disk.
• Any liability for passive damages or damage of
any kind occurred due to data loss incurred by a
defect of the product, repair performed by the
third party other than Olympus, an Olympus
authorized service station or any other reason is
excluded from the Olympus liability.
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, microSD/microSDHC
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.
