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 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:
• The battery should never be
exposed to flame, heated, short-
circuited or disassembled.
• Never heat or incinerate battery.
• Take precautions when carrying or
storing batteries to prevent them
from coming into contact with any
metal objects such as jewelry, pins,
fasteners, etc.
• To prevent causing battery leaks or
damaging their terminals, carefully
follow all instructions regarding the
use of batteries. Never attempt to
disassemble a battery or modify it
in any way, solder, etc.
• If battery fluid gets into your eyes,
flush your eyes immediately with
clear, cold running water and seek
medical attention immediately.
• When NiMH rechargeable batteries
are used, charge them with the
specified AC adapter or charger. Do
not use any other AC adapters or
chargers.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of
children.
f Warning:
• Keep batteries dry at all times.
• To prevent batteries from leaking,
overheating, or causing a fire
or explosion, use only batteries
recommended for use with this
product.
• If rechargeable batteries have not
been recharged within the specified
time, stop charging them and do
not use them.
• Do not use a battery if it is cracked
or broken.
• Never subject batteries to strong
shocks or continuous vibration.
• If a battery leaks, becomes
discolored or deformed, or becomes
abnormal in any other way during
operation, stop using the recorder.
• If a battery leaks fluid onto your
clothing or skin, remove the
clothing and flush the affected
area with clean, running cold water
immediately. If the fluid burns
your skin, seek medical attention
immediately.
• Never mix batteries (old and new
batteries, charged and uncharged
batteries, batteries of different
manufacture or capacity, etc.).
• Do not use batteries if their body is
not covered by the insulating sheet
or if the sheet is torn, as this may
cause fluid leaks, fire or injury.
