“Setting the Clock” on Page 2 for instructions on setting the time and date.
When the recorder stops operating properly, replace the batteries. We recommend you slide HOLD in the direction of the arrow before replacing batteries to maintain the current settings (date/time, etc.). For your convenience, the recorder also saves the current settings in its nonvolatile memory at hourly intervals.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the recorder for an extended period, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
When the batteries are depleted, 
appears and the recorder
automatically shuts off. Replace batteries as soon as possible.

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones.
•Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, 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.
•Once 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.

Do not wear an earphone 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 let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
