Beware of moisture condensation
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move
it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid
conditions — just as water droplets form on the surface of a
glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head
drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where
condensation may occur, keep the recorder’s power turned on
for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
Special note on head cleaning
