Protect the battery terminals.
Keep the battery terminals free from dust and
foreign matter.
If the battery has been inadvertently dropped,
check whether its body and terminal area have
been deformed.
Installing a deformed battery in the unit or in the
AC adapter may damage the unit or AC adapter.
About the SD Memory Card
The memory capacity shown on the SD Memory •
Card label is the total of the capacity provided for
copyright protection and management and the
capacity that is usable as ordinary memory in the
portable recorder, in a PC, etc.
Protect the SD Memory Card from strong impact, •
bending and dropping.
Electrical noise, static electricity and failure of the •
portable recorder or SD Memory Card can result
in damage or loss of data on the SD Memory
Card.
If used for a long period of time, the portable •
recorder surface and SD Memory Card will
become somewhat hot, but this is not a sign of
product failure.
Cautions for usage of SD memory cards
Do not allow dirt, water, or other substances to •
come into contact with the connector part on the
reverse of the card.
Do not leave the card in the following places:•
–
In direct sunlight or in places of high temperatures.
e.g. close to heating equipment
– In highly humid or dusty locations
– In locations with high variations in temperature
(condensation may appear on card)
– In places subject to static electricity or
electromagnetic waves
Store cards in bags or cases after use.•
What to remember when throwing memory
cards away or transferring them to others
Formatting memory cards or deleting data using
the functions of the unit or a computer will merely
change the file management information: it will
not completely erase the data on the cards. When
throwing these cards away or transferring them
to others, either physically destroy them or use a
data deletion program for computers (commercially
available) to completely erase the data. Users are
responsible for managing the data on their memory
cards.
Liquid crystal displays
Images or letters can get burned onto the screen •
of the LCD if they are displayed for a long time,
but you can fix this by leaving the unit off for
several hours.
The LCD monitor was made by high-precision •
engineering, but black points may appear on the
LCD monitor screen, or points may remain on all
the time (red, blue or green points). This is not a
sign of product failure. The LCD monitor pixels
are highly precisely controlled with more than
99.99 % of the pixels effective. This leaves less
than 0.01 % of pixels that may not light or may
remain on all the time. These points are not being
recorded as video on the SD Memory Card.
Condensation may form if you use the unit where •
temperatures fluctuate. Wipe dry with a soft, dry
cloth.
The LCD may appear dim after immediately •
turning on a cold recorder, but will brighten as the
unit warms up.
Do not keep the unit in humid areas. Although •
rare, this could cause the inside of the LCD
monitor to become cloudy when the power is
turned on.
Protecting the terminals
Install the covers when the connection terminals
are not being used.
