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 (such as a blanket). 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 lowtemperature 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. • Do not touch the metallic parts of the recorder for a long period of time at low temperatures. This may damage your skin. At low temperatures, handle the recorder while wearing gloves.
