Dealing with problems
In very unusual circumstances, such as exposure to strong external
electrical interferences or a strong impact, all the buttons on the
recorder may cease to function. If this happens, reset the recorder
as described below.
Reset procedure
Using a ballpoint pen or similar tool, press the reset button
1
on the back of the recorder.
The "RESET?" message appears on the display.
Press the STOP/MENU button.
2
The screen for setting the date and time appears on the
display.
To set the date and time, follow from step 5 of the procedure
on page 10.
Initialization procedure
If resetting the recorder does not remedy the problem, try initializ-
ing the recorder.
Never initialize the recorder unless absolutely necessary as this
will erase all the data on the recorder.
This procedure will erase all the recordings stored on the recorder
and will reset all the recorder settings (date/time, etc.) to their
initial values.
Using a ballpoint pen or similar tool, press the reset button
1
on the back of the recorder.
The "RESET?" message appears on the display.
Press the OK button.
2
When "OK?" appears on the display, press the OK button
again.
The "RESET!" message appears on the display briefly and then
the screen for setting the date and time appears.
To set the date and time, follow from step 5 of the procedure
on page 10.
Cleaning the recorder
Use a soft dry cloth to clean the recorder.
Do not use volatile fluids such as thinners or benzene or a
dampened cloth as this could result in deformation or discoloration
of the recorder.
