plug out of the power socket.
x Make sure the electrical voltage specified on the DR 470 and its power plug is corresponding to
the voltage of the power socket. Incorrect voltage will destroy the device.
x If the DR 470 is not used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the power supply by
unplugging the power plug. This is to avoid the risk of fire.
x It is not recommended to use a headphone on the DR 470 via LINE OUT.
x Always power off the DR 470 when cleaning it.
x Never use any harsh or strong solvents to clean the DR 470 since these may damage the
surface of the device. A dry, soft cloth is appropriate; however if the DR 470 is extremely dirty, it
