Precautions - Sony ICD-UX512 Operating Instructions Manual

Precautions

On power
Operate the unit only on 1.2 V or 1.5 V DC.
Use one NH-AAA rechargeable battery or
one LR03 (size AAA) alkaline battery.
On safety
Do not operate the unit while driving,
cycling or operating any motorized vehicle.
On handling
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the unit, remove the battery and have the
unit checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• Be careful not to allow water to splash on
the unit. The unit is not water-proof. In
particular, be careful in the following
situations.
– When you have the unit in your pocket
and go to the bathroom, etc.
When you bend down, the unit may
drop into the water and may get wet.
– When you use the unit in an
environment where the unit is exposed
to rain, snow, or humidity.
– In circumstances where you get sweaty.
If you touch the unit with wet hands or
if you put the unit in the pocket of
sweaty clothes, the unit may get wet.
• 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 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.
