About the Device

DANGER

Handling caution

•Do not operate the device or use headphones/earphones while driving a car or riding a motorcycle or a bicycle, since this could result in a serious accident.

WARNING

Do not open

•Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no userserviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

•Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers near it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the device, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

If you notice any abnormality

•If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

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.

•Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

Handling caution

•Do not use the device or headphones/earphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

•Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

About the Battery

DANGER

•If you notice battery leakage, discoloration, deformation, or any strange smell, immediately remove the battery from the device and stop operating, and also keep away from fire.

If you continue operating the device, 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.

•Be sure to use the specified battery.

Do not replace the battery with any battery other than the one specified (the same type or equivalent). Otherwise, the battery may ignite or explode, the battery liquid may spout or leak, or the unit may heat up.

•Do not leave the battery within reach of children.

A child may swallow the battery accidentally. Also, leaking battery liquid may cause chemical reaction or inflammation. If a child swallows the battery accidentally, consult a doctor immediately.

WARNING

CAUTION

•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.

•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 electric current flow in the battery, resulting in fire, explosion, leakage or ejection of the electrolyte, or overheating in use.

•Do not remove the battery while the device is in use.

Do not remove the battery while the device is being used. Doing so could corrupt the data or cause malfunctions.

•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 install a fresh battery. If the battery becomes exhausted during deletion, it will be impossible to delete the recorded material.

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.
