Additional information Precautions On safety Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 3V jack. On power sources • Use LR6 (size AA) batteries, house current, or car battery. • The recorder is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the recorder itself has been turned off. • If you are not going to use this recorder for a long time, be sure to disconnect the power supply (an optional AC power adaptor, dry batteries, or car battery cord). To remove the AC power adaptor (not supplied) from the wall outlet, grasp the adaptor plug itself; never pull the cord. On heat build-up Heat may build up in the recorder if it is used for an extended period of time. In this case, leave the recorder turned off until it cools down. On installation • Never use the recorder where it will be subjected to extremes of light, temperature, moisture or vibration. • Never wrap the recorder in anything when it is being used with the AC power adaptor (not supplied). Heat build-up in the recorder may cause malfunction or damage. • Never carry the recorder together with a hard object within the supplied carrying pouch. Friction with the object may cause flacking or scratching on the recorder's painted surface. On the headphones/earphones Road safety Do not use the headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your recorder at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Preventing hearing damage Avoid using the headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use. Caring for others Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate of the people around you. On the MiniDisc cartridge • When carrying or storing the MiniDisc, keep it in its case. • Do not break open the shutter. • Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to light, extreme temperatures, moisture or dust. • Attach the supplied MD label only in the space designated for it on the disc. Do not stick it on any other disc surface. Notes on batteries Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of battery fluid or bursting batteries. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions: • Insert the + and - poles of the batteries correctly. • Do not try to recharge dry batteries. • When the recorder is not to be used for a long time, be sure to remove the batteries. • If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the battery compartment before inserting new ones. 44
