Location
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme
cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during
the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to
the internal components.
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.

Precautions
About the Battery
DANGER
• If you notice battery leakage, discoloration,
deformation, or any strange smell, immediately remove
the battery from the unit and stop operating, and also
keep away from fire.
If you continue operating the unit, it could cause battery fire,
explosion, electrolyte blowout, or smoke. If a leaking battery is
close to a source of flame, the battery electrolyte could catch fire,
resulting in battery fire, explosion, electrolyte blowout, or smoke.
DANGER for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)
• Use only an “eneloop” battery
Do not use any rechargeable battery other than an eneloop battery.
For your safety, do not use imitation or counterfeit rechargeable
batteries. Use of batteries other than eneloop might cause battery
fire, explosion and fluid leakage, resulting in fire, injuries,
chemical burns or environmental pollution.
• Recharge the battery only in this product or the specified
charger
Charging the battery in any other charger may cause excessive or
abnormal current flow during charging, producing abnormal
chemical reactions within the battery that could cause ignition,
explosion, electrolyte leakage, or overheating.
• Stop charging if charging does not end even though the
specified charging time is exceeded
If you continue charging the battery, it may ignite, explode, leak
electrolyte, or overheat.

POCKETRAK 2G Owner’s Manual
DANGER: for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)
WARNING for AAA/LR03/HP16 Alkaline Battery
• Do not deform, disassemble, or modify the battery
Any modifications such as deformation, disassembly, or soldering
directly to the battery terminals may cause ignition, explosion, and
leakage or ejection of the electrolyte.
• Do not allow a wire to connect the positive and negative
terminals, and do not carry or store the battery together
with metallic objects such as a necklaces or hairpins
Doing so may short-circuit the battery, causing excessive current
to flow, and possibly resulting in ignition, explosion, and leakage
or ejection of the electrolyte. This may also cause the wire or
necklace to heat up.
• Do not throw the battery into a fire,heat it, or expose it to
the sunlight for a long time
Doing so may melt the insulation, impair the safety mechanism, or
ignite the electrolyte, causing ignition or explosion.
• Do not peel off or damage the external covering
Peeling off the external covering, piercing it with a nail or sharp
object, striking it with a hammer, or stepping on it may cause a
short-circuit within the battery, causing ignition, explosion,
leakage or ejection of the electrolyte, or overheating.
• Insert the battery as instructed
Always make sure the battery is inserted in conformity with the +/polarity markings. Failure to do so might cause abnormal chemical
reaction when recharging or could cause abnormal electric current
flow in the battery, resulting in fire, explosion, leakage or ejection
(5)-5
of the electrolyte, or overheating in use.

Precautions
WARNING
• Do not remove the battery while the unit is in use.
Do not remove the battery while the unit is being used. Doing so
could corrupt the data or cause malfunctions.
• Do not leave the battery installed for an extended time.
If the battery runs out, or if the device is not to be used for a long
time (about one week), remove the battery from the device and
keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent possible leakage of the
battery fluid.
CAUTION
• Check the battery capacity before recording or deleting
recorded material
If the remaining battery capacity indication should run low during
recording, immediately stop recording, and recharge the battery or
install a fresh battery.
If the battery becomes exhausted during deletion, it will be
impossible to delete the recorded material.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualified
Yamaha service personnel about replacing defective components.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
For France, the included earphones has been tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level requirement laid down in
NF EN 50332-1:2000 standard as required by French Article L. 5232-1.
Maximum output voltage: 150 mV
Wide band characteristic voltage for the included earphones: 75 mV or higher
(5)-5
CAUTION: for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)
• Charge before use
If the eneloop battery becomes exhausted, you must charge it
before use. The battery may become warm during charging, but
this is not a malfunction.
Do not recharge conventional (alkaline) batteries.
When charging the battery outside this product, use a charger that
supports eneloop batteries, and observe the instructions given in
the “owner’s manual” for your charger.
• If the battery fluid leaks
If the battery does leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the
battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, skin,
or clothes, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor.
Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or
chemical burns. Also if your skin should become inflamed when
contacted by battery fluid, consult a doctor.
