Safety precautions
Precautions relating to reception:
• Radio reception will vary substantially
depending on where you are using the
radio. If the reception is poor, try moving
the recorder near to a window and away
from electrical products such as cellular
phones, televisions, fluorescent lights etc.
Warning regarding data loss:
• Recorded content in memory may be
destroyed or erased by operating errors,
unit malfunction, or during repair work.
It is recommended to back up and save
important content to other media such as
a computer hard disk.
• Olympus does not accept any liability for
passive damages or damage of any kind
incurred due to data loss resulting from a
defect of the product, repair performed
by a third party other than Olympus or an
Olympus authorized service station, or
for any other reasons.
Handling the recorder
f
Warning:
• Do not use the recorder near
flammable or explosive gases.
• Keep young children and infants
away from the recorder.
Always use and store the recorder out of
the reach of young children and infants
to prevent the following dangerous
situations which could cause serious
injury:
1
Becoming entangled in the recorder
strap, causing strangulation.
2
Accidentally swallowing the battery,
cards or other small parts.
3
Accidentally being injured by the
moving parts of the recorder.
• Do not use or store the recorder in
dusty or humid places.
• Do not disassemble, repair or
modify the unit yourself.
• Use microSD/microSDHC memory
cards only. Never use other types
of cards.
If you accidentally insert another type
of card into the recorder, contact an
authorized distributor or service center.
Do not try to remove the card by force.
• Do not operate the unit while
driving or riding a vehicle (such as
a bicycle, motorcycle, or car).
f
Caution:
• Stop using the recorder
immediately if you notice any
unusual odors, noise, or smoke
emanating from it.
Never remove the batteries with bare
hands. Doing so may cause a fire or burn
your hands.
• Be careful with the strap.
Be careful with the strap when carrying
the recorder. It could easily catch on
something and cause serious damage.
• Do not leave the recorder 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 cover (such
as with a blanket) the charger or AC
adapter while it is being used. This could
cause overheating, resulting in fire.
• Handle the recorder with care to
avoid getting a low-temperature
burn.
• If the recorder contains metal parts,
overheating can result in a low-
temperature burn. Note the following:
• When used for a long period, the
recorder will get hot. If you hold the
recorder while it is hot, you may suffer
a low-temperature burn.
