f
Caution
• Stop using the recorder
immediately if you notice any
unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
• Never remove the battery with
bare hands, which may cause a
fire or burn your hands.
• Do not leave the recorder in
places where it may be subject
to extremely high temperatures.
Doing so may cause parts
to deteriorate and, in some
circumstances, cause the
recorder to catch fire. Do not
use the charger or AC adapter
if it is covered. This could cause
overheating, resulting in fire
.
• Handle the recorder with
care to avoid getting a low-
temperature burn.
• When the recorder contains
metal parts, overheating can
result in a low-temperature
burn. Pay attention to the
following:
• When used for a long period,
the recorder will get hot. If you
hold on to the recorder in this
state, a low-temperature burn
may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely
cold temperatures, the
temperature of the recorder’s
body may be lower than the
environmental temperature.
If possible, wear gloves when
handling the recorder in cold
temperatures.
