Precautions
On safety
Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 3V
jack.
On power sources
• Use LR6 (size AA) batteries, house current, or
car battery.
• The recorder is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
recorder itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use this recorder for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the power
supply (an optional AC power adaptor, dry
batteries, or car battery cord). To remove the
AC power adaptor (not supplied) from the
wall outlet, grasp the adaptor plug itself; never
pull the cord.
On heat build-up
Heat may build up in the recorder if it is used
for an extended period of time. In this case,
leave the recorder turned off until it cools down.
On installation
• Never use the recorder where it will be
subjected to extremes of light, temperature,
moisture or vibration.
• Never wrap the recorder in anything when it is
being used with the AC power adaptor (not
supplied). Heat build-up in the recorder may
cause malfunction or damage.
• Never carry the recorder together with a hard
object within the supplied carrying pouch.
Friction with the object may cause flacking or
scratching on the recorder’s painted surface.
On the headphones
Road safety
Do not use the headphones while driving,
cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas. It can also be potentially dangerous
to play your recorder at high volume while
walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You
should exercise extreme caution or discontinue
use in potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using he headphones at high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud
and extended play. If you experience a ringing
in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue
use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will
allow you to hear outside sounds and to be
considerate of the people around you.

it in its case.

subject to light, extreme temperatures,
moisture or dust.
• Attach the supplied MD label only in the
space designated for it on the disc. Do not

On cleaning

slightly moistened with water or a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzene as it may mar the finish
of the casing.

remove dirt.
• Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from
operating properly. Be sure to close the disc
compartment lid after inserting or ejecting an
MD.
