Operating precautions

•Do not leave the voice recorder in hot or humid locations such as in direct sunlight inside a vehicle, or on a beach during summer.

•Do not store the voice recorder in humid or dusty locations.

•If the voice recorder becomes wet or damp, wipe off the moisture right away with a dry cloth. Contact with salt water should be particularly avoided.

•Do not place the voice recorder on top of or near a TV, refrigerator or other electrical appliance.

•Prevent sand or mud from getting on the voice recorder. It may cause product not to be repairable.

•Do not subject the voice recorder to intense vibrations or shocks.

•Do not use the voice recorder in humid locations.

•Placing a magnetic card (such as a bank cash card) near the speaker or earphones may cause errors in the data stored on the magnetic card.

<Radio reception precaution>

•Reception quality will vary greatly depending on where the radio is being used. If the reception is poor, try moving the voice recorder near a window and away from electric appliances such as mobile phones, TVs or fluorescent lights.

<Data loss precautions>

•Recorded content in the internal memory and microSD card may be destroyed or lost due to reasons such as operating errors, device failure or repair.

•Also, when content is saved in the memory for long period of time or is used repeatedly, operations such as writing to, reading from, or erasing of contents may not be possible.

•Making a backup of important recorded information and saving it on a PC’s hard disk or other recording media is recommended.

•Note that Olympus will assume no liability for damages or lost earnings resulting from recorded data damage or loss, regardless of the nature or cause thereof.

<Recorded file precautions>

•Note that Olympus will assume no liability for recorded files being erased or becoming unplayable due to voice recorder or PC failure.

•Recording of copyrighted material is permitted when the recording is for your personal use only. Any other type of use without the permission of the copyright owner is prohibited by copyright law.

<Voice recorder and microSD cards disposal precautions>

•Even when formatting (☞ P.91) or erasing (☞ P.46) are performed, only the file management information of the internal memory and/or microSD card is updated and the recorded data is not completely erased.

When disposing of the voice recorder or a microSD card, be sure to destroy it, format and record silence until the recording time runs out, or perform a similar operation in order to prevent the leakage of personal information.
