Use of the recorder is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.

Where to put your recorder?

In order to guarantee the correct operation of your recorder, you must:

place it indoors to protect it from lightning, rain, and direct sunlight,

place it in a dry and well ventilated area,

keep it away from heat sources such as radiators, candles, lamps, etc.

protect it from dampness, place it on a flat surface from where it will not fall and is out of the reach of children,

avoid violent shocks. Choose a stable, horizontal surface on which the recorder will not be exposed to intense vibrations.

do not place anything on top of your recorder (as it would restrict ventilation): the ventilation slots located on the casing prevent your recorder from overheating. If you place the recorder in a compartment or other closed space, leave a space of at least 10 cm on each side and 20 cm on the front and back of the recorder,

connect it directly to the mains with the provided cords, the socket must be near the recorder and easy to access. The use of an extension cable (with multi-points) is not recommended.

Warnings and safety instructions

NEVER OPEN THE RECORDER OR THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT! YOU RISK GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Use only the power supply unit supplied with the

recorder to connect it to the mains. Other practice may be dangerous.

As a precaution, in case of danger, the power supply unit acts as a disconnecting mechanism for the 230V power supply. That is why it is imperative that you connect the recorder to a power outlet located nearby and easily accessible.

Connect the recorder to the mains in accordance with the indications mentioned on the identification label affixed on the recorder (voltage, current, frequency of electricity network).

The identification label is located under the recorder or on the rear panel.

You must imperatively connect the power supply unit to the recorder before connecting the power supply unit to the power socket. Ensure the power cord is correctly connected to the mains power socket and to the recorder. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and you risk getting an electric shock when touching the recorder.

You must imperatively use the recorder in an environment that complies with the following requirements:

temperature: between 0°C [32°F] and 40°C [104°F].

ambient humidity: between 20% and 90%.

altitude: below 2000 m [6562 ft].

To avoid short-circuits (fire or electrocution hazard), do not expose your recorder to dampness. Do not place any object containing liquid (vase for example) on the appliance.

The recorder must not be splashed with liquid. If liquid is spilled onto the recorder, unplug it immediately from the mains and consult your supplier.

Take care not to allow liquids or metal objects to enter the recorder through the ventilation slots.

Avoid reconnecting the recorder after it has been subjected to large changes in temperature.

The recorder must be disconnected from mains supply (from the power outlet or rear panel) before any modification of connection between TV, VCR or antenna.

In the event of a storm, it is advisable to unplug the antenna. Even if the recorder and the television set are disconnected from the power supply, lightning can still damage them.

If you hear unusual noise coming from the mains power socket or from the power cord or adapter, disconnect immediately the power cord from the mains power socket in accordance with all the precautions of use, you risk getting an electric shock, and contact your retailer.

Never connect the recorder to a mains power socket which is loose, shows signs of wear or damage, you risk getting an electric shock.

Never touch the power cord with wet hands. You risk getting an electric shock.

When connecting or disconnecting the power cord, always take hold of the plug without pulling on the cord. A damaged cord presents a potential risk of fire or electric shock. Never pull the power cord when disconnecting from the mains power socket.

Never place objects on the power cord, and never pull on it or fold it. This may cause a risk of fire or electric shock. Ensure that the recorder never lies on the power cord or any other cables.

Never place objects on the power adapter, never step on it or roll over it with a rolling device. You risk damaging the power adapter and creating a risk of fire or electric shock.

Ensure the recorder is placed on a flat and stable surface, placing it incorrectly may lead to the power cord being disconnected. This may cause a risk of fire or electric shock.
