MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move
it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid
conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass
filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum
will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation
may occur, keep the recorder turned on for a few hours to let the
moisture dry.
ATTENTION
TO MOBILE PHONE USERS:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the recorder may cause
picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a

ON PLACING THE RECORDER:
Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields.
DO NOT place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may
