Introduction

Important safety precautions

Cleaning—Unplug the AC power adapter from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product. Do •
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the product when it is dirty. To protect the product, do not use a chemical cloth to clean it. •
Chemicals may cause damage or cracks in the casing of the product.

Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool and in •
a wet basement.

Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product. The water may spill onto the product •
causing fire or electric shock.

Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can cause the product •
to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, or
table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product.

When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive •
force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.

Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the casing are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block •
these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the
product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation
openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place
such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are
followed.

Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-•
generating products (including amplifiers).

To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the product.•
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power adapter under the product or other heavy items.•
The product uses power even in Standby. Unplug the product from the AC outlet when you are not using it.•
Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage •

and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified person to perform servicing.

Devices connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the MAINS connection or through other devices with a
connection to protective earthing and to a television distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire
hazard. Connection to a television distribution system therefore has to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation within a
certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).

NOTE

For requirements in Norway and Sweden, the requirements for isolation are also relevant for devices that can be connected to •
television distribution systems.

Preparation

Inserting the batteries

Before using the Recorder for the first time, insert the two supplied “AAA” size zinc-carbon batteries. When the batteries
become depleted and the remote control unit fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AAA” size batteries.

Open the battery cover. 1
Insert the two supplied “AAA” size zinc- 2

carbon batteries.

Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the •
(e) and (f) indications in the battery compartment.

Close the battery cover. 3

CAUTION

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.•
Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old •
batteries.
Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any chemical leakage, •
wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.•
If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.•
When replacing the batteries, use zinc-carbon batteries instead of alkaline ones.•

Note on disposing batteries:

The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead or mercury.
Regulations concerning used batteries stipulate that batteries may no longer be thrown out with the household rubbish.
Deposit any used batteries free of charge into the designated collection containers set up at commercial businesses.
