Keep the recorder dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic cir- cuits.
Use and store the recorder only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the recorder away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the recorder gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the recorder to work improperly.
