• Listening with this unit at high volume may
affect your hearing.
• For traffic safety, do not use this unit while
driving or cycling.
• Do not use this unit at a place where the
inability to hear surrounding sounds may
present a danger.
• You may feel pain in your ears if you use the
headphones when the ambient air is very
dry.
This is not because of a malfunction of the
headphones, but because of static electricity
accumulated in your body.
You can reduce static electricity by wearing
non-synthetic clothes that prevent the
emergence of static electricity.
On noise
• Noise may be heard when the unit is placed
near an AC power source, a fluorescent
lamp, a smartphone, or a mobile phone
during recording or playback.
• Noise may be recorded when an object, such
as your finger, etc., rubs or scratches the unit
during recording.
On maintenance
To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth slightly
moistened in water. Then use a soft dry cloth
to wipe the exterior. Do not use alcohol,
benzine or thinner.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
On using the SD card
• Be sure to use the linear PCM recorder to
format an SD card (page 71). Operation
of the SD card formatted by any device
other than the linear PCM recorder, such as
a computer, is not assured when used with
the recorder.
If you format an SD card with stored data,
the data will be erased. Make sure that no
valuable data is stored on the SD card before
you format it.
