2. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Use of the recorder is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.

2-1 WHERE TO PUT YOUR RECORDER?

In order to guarantee the correct operation of your recorder, you must:
• place it indoors to protect it from lightning, rain, and
sun rays,
• place it in a dry and well ventilated area,
• keep it away from heat sources such as radiators,
candles, lamps, etc.
• protect it from dampness, place it on a flat surface from
where it will not fall and is out of reach of the children,
• do not place anything on top of your recorder (as it
would restrict ventilation): the ventilation slots located
on the casing prevent your recorder from overheating.
If you place the recorder in a compartment, leave a
space of at least 10 cm on each side and 20 cm on the
front and back of the recorder,
• connect it directly to the mains with the provided cords,
the socket must be near the recorder and easy to
access. The use of an extension cable (with multi-points) is not recommended.

2-2 WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

NEVER OPEN THE RECORDER OR THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT! YOU RISK GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
• Use only the power supply unit supplied with the recorder to connect it to the mains. Other
practice may be dangerous.
• As a precaution, in case of danger, the power supply unit acts as a disconnecting mecha-
nism for the 230V power supply. That is why it is imperative that you connect the recorder to
a power outlet located nearby and easily accessible.
• You must imperatively connect the power supply unit to the recorder before connecting the power
supply unit to the power socket.
• To avoid short-circuits (fire or electrocution hazard), do not expose your recorder to dampness. Do
not place any object containing liquid (vase for example) on the appliance. The recorder must not be
splashed with liquid. If liquid is spilled onto the recorder, unplug it immediately from the mains and
consult your supplier.
• Take care not to allow liquids or metal objects to enter the recorder through the ventilation slots.
• Avoid reconnecting the recorder after it has been subjected to large changes in temperature.
