Caring for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate of the people around you.

On the MiniDisc cartridgeWhen carrying or storing the MiniDisc, keep it in its case.Do not break open the shutter.

Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to light, extreme temperatures, moisture or dust.

Attach the supplied MD label only in the space designated for it on the disc. Do not stick it on any other disc surface.

On cleaning

Clean the recorder casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as it may mar the finish of the casing.

Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove dirt.

Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from operating properly. Be sure to close the disc compartment lid after inserting or ejecting an MD.

To obtain the best sound quality, use a dry cloth to wipe the plugs of the headphones/ earphones. Dirty plugs may cause sound distortion or intermittent breaks in the sound.

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.

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.

To protect a recorded MD
