1 Important safety information

Do not make any adjustments and modifications that are not described in this manual. Follow all safety instructions to ensure proper operation of the device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages resulting from non-compliance with the safety instructions.

1.1 Safety instructions

• Protect the device from rain or water to prevent a shor t circuit.
• Do not expose the device to excessive heat caused by placing it on a heating device or in direct sunlight.
• Protect the cables from damage by being trapped, particularly at the plugs and where cables exit the housing.
• Back up your data and recordings. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any loss of data.
• Do not perform any maintenance operations that are not described in this user manual. Do not disassemble the device into its component parts to carry out repairs. The device may only be repaired in authorised service centres.
1.1.1 Batteries and rechargeable batteries
• Only use AA A type batteries or rechargeable batteries for the device and CR2025 type for the remote control (DVT5500, DVT7000).
• DVT1000, DVT1500: Never try to recharge the batteries.
• DVT3000 – DVT7000: Instead of rechargeable batteries, you can use AA A type batteries. The LFH9154 Philips rechargeable batteries can be charged in the device. Connect the device to a computer or use an external battery charger.
• Fully charge the rechargeable batteries before first use. A full recharge cycle takes about 2.5 hours when the device is connected to a computer.
• Remove batteries or rechargeable batteries from the device if it will not be used for an extended period of time. The device can be damaged by leaking batteries or rechargeable batteries.
• Do not remove batteries or rechargeable batteries from the device while it is recording. If you do this, data may be damaged or lost. Device malfunctions may also occur.
• Batteries and rechargeable batteries contain substances that may pollute the environment. Used batteries and rechargeable batteries should be disposed of at an ocial collection point.
1.1.2 Memory cards
• The device suppor ts microSD memory cards up to 32 GB in capacity.
• Make sure that the card has a suciently high data transfer rate. The manufacturer makes no guarantee for trouble free operation.
• Formatting a memory card erases all data on the card. The memory card must always be formatted in the device to ensure that the format is correct. Formatting the memory card using a computer can lead to eventual errors when reading or writing data.

1.1.3 Hearing protection
1.1.5 Legal restrictions on recording
Observe the following guidelines when using headphones:
• Set the volume to a moderate level and do not use headphones to listen for excessively long periods of time.
• Be particularly careful to avoid adjusting the volume to a level that your hearing cannot deal with.
• Do not turn the volume up so high that you cannot hear what is going on around you.
• In potentially dangerous situations you must be very careful, or temporarily discontinue use.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorised vehicle, cycling, or skateboarding, etc. You could be a hazard to yourself and other road users, and possibly be breaking the law.
1.1.4 Maximum sound power
• The manufacturer guarantees compliance with the maximum sound power of its audio players as determined by relevant regulatory bodies, but only with the original model of headphones supplied. If you need to replace these headphones, we recommend contacting your dealer to order the respective original Philips model.
• The use of the device's recording function is subject to the legal restrictions that may apply in your country. You should also respect the privacy and personal rights of the third parties if you record talks or lectures.
