•
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.
Be careful with the strap when you
carry the recorder. It could easily
catch on stray objects and cause
serious damage.
•
Handle the recorder with care to
avoid getting a low-temperature
burn.
• When the recorder contains metal
parts, overheating can result
in a low-temperature burn. Pay
attention to the following:
• When used for a long period, the
recorder will get hot. If you hold
on to the recorder in this state,
a low-temperature burn may be
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
handling the recorder in cold
temperatures.

•
To prevent causing battery leaks
or damaging their terminals,
carefully follow all instructions
regarding the use of batteries.
Never attempt to disassemble a
battery or modify it in any way,
solder, etc.
•
If a battery fluid gets into your
eyes, flush your eyes immediately
with clear, cold running water
and seek medical attention
immediately.
f Warning:
•
Keep batteries dry at all times.
•
Do not use a battery if it is
cracked or broken.
•
Never subject batteries to strong
shocks or continuous vibration.
•
If a battery leaks, becomes
discolored or deformed, or
becomes abnormal in any other
way during operation, stop using
the recorder.
•
If a battery leaks fluid onto your
clothing or skin, remove the
clothing and flush the affected
area with clean, running cold
water immediately. If the fluid
burns your skin, seek medical
attention immediately.
•
Keep battery out of the reach of
children.

abnormal noise, heat, smoke, or a
burning odor:
1 remove the battery immediately
while being careful not to burn
yourself, and;
2 call your dealer or local Olympus
