IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and Retain Instructions — Safety and operating instructions should be read prior to use. The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
Heed Warnings — Follow all warnings on the device and in the instructions.
Cleaning — Unplug this device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean only as recommended by the manufacturer. Clean by wiping with a cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid getting water inside the device. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Water and Moisture — Do not use this device near water (for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool).
Accessories — Do not place device on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The device may fall, causing injury to a child or adult, and damage the device. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer
or sold with the device. Follow the manufacturer’s mounting instructions, and use a recommended mounting accessory.
Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation, ensure reliable operation, and protect from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings, and do not place the device on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the device in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless it provides proper ventilation as specified by the manufacturer.
Heat — The device should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices that produce heat.
Power Sources — Use this device with the power source indicated on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home’s power type, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
Grounding or Polarization — This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If you still are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, outlets, and the point where they exit from the device.
Non-use Periods — The device’s power cord should be unplugged from the outlet when it is to be left unused for a long period of time.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service this device yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are needed, use only parts specified by the manufacturer or parts with the same characteristics as the original part. Substitutions may result in fire or electric shock.
Safety Check — Upon completion of service or repairs, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine if the device is in operating condition.
Lightning — For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the device is unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This prevents damage due to lightning and power surges.
Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

Battery Notes
•Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types, capacities, or chemistries.
•If you do not plan to use the recorder with battery for a month or more, remove the battery. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic parts.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these earphone guidelines:
•Set the recorder to the lowest volume before you turn it on, then
adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high- volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
•After you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones or headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas. Even though some earphones or headphones let you hear outside sounds, they still can present a traffic hazard.
