Precautions

On safety

Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 4.5 V jack.

On power sources

Use three size AA (LR6) batteries, the house current, or a lithium ion rechargeable battery.

For use in your house: Use the AC- E45HG AC power adaptor (not supplied). Do not use any other AC power adaptor since it may cause the recorder to malfunction.

Polarity of the plug

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 (dry batteries, AC power adaptor, or a rechargeable battery). To remove the AC power adaptor 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 to cool 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. Heat build- up in the recorder may cause malfunction or injury.

While carrying the recorder Keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches, etc., away from the recorder to prevent possible damage from the magnet used for the speaker.

On the headphones

Road safety

Do not use 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.
