Stop using the recorder
immediately if you notice any
unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
Never remove the batteries with
bare hands, which may cause a fire
or burn your hands.

Be careful with the strap.

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
