Operating precautions
The portable recorder and SD card become 
warm during usage. This is not a defect. 
Do not allow any water to get into the unit when 
using it in the rain or snow or at the beach.
Failure to heed this caution will cause the unit 
• 
or a card to malfunction (and may result in 
irreparable damage).
The portable recorder should be used as far 
as possible from sources of magnetism and 
electromagnetism (cell phones, microwave 
ovens, TVs, game machines, etc.). 
If the portable recorder is operated on top of or 
• 
close to a TV, the electromagnetism can cause 
distortion of audio and video. 
Strong magnetism from speakers, large motors, etc. can 
• 
cause recordings to be lost and video to be distorted. 
Electromagnetic waves emitted from digital 
• 
circuits, including microcomputers, can impact 
each other, causing distortion of audio and video. 
If the portable recorder is so adversely affected 
• 
that it does not operate normally, remove the 
battery or AC adaptor, reconnect them and turn 
the power on again. 
As much as possible, avoid using the portable 
recorder close to radio towers and high-voltage lines. 
If used close to these places, radio waves and high 
• 
voltage can adversely affect recorded audio and video. 
Use the cords and cables that are provided with the 
portable recorder or separately sold accessories. 
Do not extend the cords and cables to use.
If using the portable recorder at the beach or 
any place that is sandy or dusty, take care that 
sand and dust do not get inside the portable 
recorder or on its terminals. Do not allow the 
portable recorder to get wet with salt water, etc. 
Sand and dust can damage the unit or a card. 
• 
(Be especially careful when inserting or removing 
a card.)
If the portable recorder has come in contact with 
• 
salt water, wipe with a cloth that has been well 
wrung out, then wipe with a dry cloth. 
If insect sprays or other volatile substances are 
being used in the area, take care that they do 
not come in contact with the portable recorder. 
These can warp the unit or cause the finish to come off.
• 
Do not leave the unit in contact with rubber or 
• 
PVC products for extended periods of time.
When carrying the portable recorder, take care 
not to drop it or let it hit other objects. 
Strong impact can cause the outer case to break 
• 
or damage the portable recorder. 
AC adapter and battery
If the charging lamp blinks continuously, check 
• 
to make sure that there is no dust, dirt or foreign 
matter on the terminals of the battery or AC 
adaptor, then reconnect correctly. If there is dust, 
dirt or foreign matter, unplug the power plug from 
the outlet and remove the dust, dirt or foreign 
matter. If the charging lamp continues to blink, it 
is possible that the temperature is too high or too 
low, or that the battery or AC adaptor has failed. 
Inquire at the shop where you purchased the 
portable recorder. 
The battery takes longer to charge when it is 
• 
warm.
The AC adapter can interfere with radio reception 
• 
so keep radios at least 1 meter away from it.
The AC adapter may make some noise when you 
• 
are using it, but this is normal.
Place the portable recorder close to a power 
outlet, and make sure that a cutoff (the power 
plug) is easily accessible. 
After use, remove the battery and disconnect 
the AC power supply cable.
Battery characteristics
The rechargeable lithium ion battery used with 
this unit is readily affected by temperature and 
humidity. In cold places, the full battery indication 
may not appear and a low battery warning may 
appear approx. 5 minutes after starting use. In 
high temperatures, a protective function may be 
triggered, preventing use.
Remove the battery after use.
Completely remove the battery. (The battery 
continues to be used even if you have turned the 
unit off.) The battery can over discharge if you 
leave it in the unit and it may become impossible to 
recharge it.
Disposing of spent batteries
The battery will become unchargeable. Rather 
• 
than throwing the battery into the garbage, take it 
to a store that can assist in recycling it.
