Notes on battery

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

•Install the + and – poles of the battery correctly.

•Do not try to recharge dry battery.

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

•Do not carry or store the dry battery with metallic objects such as coins, key rings, or necklaces. This may cause a short-circuit and the generation of heat.

•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.)
