Notes on batteries

Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of battery fluid or bursting batteries. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions:

•Insert the + and – poles of the batteries correctly.

•Do not try to recharge dry batteries.

•When the recorder is not to be used for a long time, be sure to remove the batteries.

•If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the battery compartment before inserting new ones.

Note on mechanical noise

The recorder gives off mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by the power-saving system of the recorder and it is not a problem.

Note on maintenance

Clean the terminals periodically with a cotton swab or a soft cloth as illustrated.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your recorder, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. (If a trouble occurred when the disc was in the recorder, we recommend that the disc be left in the recorder when you consult your Sony dealer so that the cause of trouble may be better understood.)
