• Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or other foreign matter could get on or inside the Digital Recorder, and do not use or leave your Digital Recorder in areas with excessive smoke, steam or moisture. Such environments can cause malfunctions or cause mildew to form on the lenses. Be sure to keep the unit in a well-ventilated location. • Some small, portable tripods may be difficult to attach and may not be sturdy enough to support your Digital Recorder. Be sure to use only a strong, stable tripod. • When using your Digital Recorder in a cold environment, the color LCD monitor may appear less bright immediately after the power is turned on. This is not a malfunction. To prevent the Digital Recorder from becoming too cold, wrap it in a thick cloth (a blanket, etc.). • Power the Digital Recorder occasionally to operate some function even if you do not plan to use it for a long time. It will prevent malfunction. Important Information • Always conduct a tentative recording before important shootings to check whether the Digital Recorder operates normally. Care Cleaning and Maintenance • Many plastic parts are used in the Digital Recorder casing. Do not use thinners, benzenes or other strong chemical cleaners. These may cause discoloration and damage to the casing. • Clean the casing with a soft, dry cloth. If the casing is particularly dirty, wipe the casing with a tightly wrung cloth dampened with a diluted, neutral detergent. Then wipe it again with a soft, dry cloth. • Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe finger marks and other soiling off the LCD monitor. • Then clean the lens with a soft, dry cloth or compressed air. 4 Important Information
