This unit uses SD cards for recording and playback.
A list of SD cards that have been tested with this unit

Use of cards that have not been verified for use with
this unit could result in the unit not functioning
properly.

Precautions for use

SD cards are delicate media. In order to avoid
damaging a card or the card slot, please take the
following precautions when handling them.
• Do not leave in extremely hot or cold places.
• Do not leave them in extremely humid places.
• Do not let them get wet.
• Do not put things on top of them or twist them.
• Do not hit them.

Precautions for placement and use

• The operating temperature should be between 0°C
and 40°C (32°F and 104°F).
• Do not install in the following types of places.
Doing so could degrade the sound quality and/or
cause malfunctions.
• Places with significant vibrations or that are
otherwise unstable
• Near windows or other places exposed to direct
sunlight
• Near heaters or other extremely hot places
• Extremely cold places
• Places with bad ventilation or high humidity
• Very dusty locations
• Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-gener-
ating electrical device such as a power amplifier.
• Hum might occur if a powered amplifier or other
device with a large transformer is used near this
unit. If this should happen, try increasing the
distance between this unit and that device and
changing their orientations.
• Uneven colors might appear on televisions and
noise might be heard from radios that are used near
this unit. If this should happen, use the unit further
from the affected device.
• Noise might be heard from this unit if a mobile
telephone or other wireless device is used nearby
during calls and when data is transmitted and
received. If this should happen, use that device
farther from the unit or turn its power off.

Beware of condensation

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place,
or used after a sudden temperature change, there
is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct
operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs,
let the unit sit for one or two hours at the new room
temperature before using.

Cleaning the unit

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do not
clean the unit with a chemically treated cloth or
substances such as benzene, thinner and alcohol
because they might cause damage to the surface of the
unit.
