14Caution

15Legal Information

Here are few tips and things to watch out for
when using your pen:

A. At times, the HD2 may become hot during
recording - this is normal. To ensure cooling
avoid blocking ow of air to the HD2;
B. Keep your pen dry. Rain, humidity, and all
types of liquid or moisture can potentially cause
harm or corrosion to the internal components. If
you pen does get wet, allow it to try completely
before attempting to use;
C. Avoid dropping or rough handling. This can
break internal components;
D. Do not use hard chemicals, cleaning solvents,
or strong detergents to clean the HD2;

All jurisdictions have specic laws and
regulations relating to the use of cameras and
voice recorders. Before using any camera and/
or voice recorder for any purpose it is the buyers
responsibility to be aware of all applicable laws
and regulations that prohibit or limit the use
of cameras and voice recorders, and to comply
with the applicable laws and regulations.
