Precautions
Additional Information
 In circumstances where you get sweaty.
If you touch the linear PCM recorder with
wet hands or if you put the linear PCM
recorder in the pocket of sweaty clothes,
the linear PCM recorder may get wet.
 You may feel pain in your ears if you use the
headphones when the ambient air is very
dry. This is not because of a malfunction
of the headphones, but because of static
electricity accumulated in your body. You
can reduce static electricity by wearing
non-synthetic clothes that prevent the
emergence of static electricity.
On headphones output
Do not set the volume to an excessively high
level. The volume is set at a higher level than
a conventional device due to the high output
level of headphones. Please set the volume to
a moderate level.
On noise
 Noise may be heard when the linear PCM
recorder is placed near an AC source, a
fluorescent lamp, or a mobile phone during
recording or playback.
 Noise may be recorded when an object, such
as your finger, etc., rubs or scratches the
linear PCM recorder during recording.
On the built-in microphones
The built-in microphones are high-
performance electret condenser microphones.
Do not expose them to strong wind or water.
On maintenance
When the exterior is dirty, clean the surface
gently with a soft cloth slightly moistened in
water, and then wipe it again with a dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol, benzene, or thinner, etc.,
to avoid damaging the finish.
Backup recommendations
To avoid potential risk of data loss caused by
accidental operation or malfunction of the
linear PCM recorder, we recommend that you
save a backup copy of your recorded files on
a computer.
