Precautions:

•If used near a radio, the AC adapter/battery charger may interfere with reception.

•This is a sealed unit. Do not attempt to open or modify it.

•Do not damage, drop, or subject the unit to vibration.

•Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight.

•Avoid using the unit in humid or extremely hot places.

•If the power source becomes disconnected during recording, playback, or other operations, the tape will remain wrapped around the drum, causing possible damage to the tape. Reconnect the power source to the main unit immediately.
