For Long and Trouble-Free Operation
Do not use benzene or thinner for cleaning.
• Benzene and thinner could deform the unit and cause the paint to peel off.
• Disconnect the battery or the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Wipe the unit using a soft clean cloth. Stubborn soiling should be removed using a cloth dampened with a solution of a neutral
detergent and water. Then wipe with a dry cloth.
Condensation occurs due to the same principle involved when droplets of water form on a window pane of a heated room. It
occurs when this unit or a card is moved between places where the temperature or humidity varies greatly or when, for instance:
• It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a room immediately after it has been heated up.
• It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or humid location.
When moving the unit to locations such as these, leave it standing for about 10 minutes rather than switching on the power
immediately.
Before storing the unit, remove the battery.
Store the unit in a location where the humidity is low and the temperature is relatively constant.
Recommended ambient temperature: 15
Recommended relative humidity: 40 % – 60 %
■ Memory card recorder
• Wrap the unit in a soft cloth to protect it from dust.
• Do not place it in a location exposed to direct sunlight, which could damage the finish and the LCD screen.
■ Battery pack
• Storing the battery pack in a location exposed to excessively high or low temperature will reduce its service life.
• Storing it in a location with oily smoke and heavy concentrations of dust and exposed to high humidity may corrode the
terminals and cause other damage.
• Keep necklaces, hairpins and other metal objects away from the battery terminals. They could short-circuit the terminals
generating heat that could cause burn injuries if touched.
• When the battery will be stored for an extended period of time, charge it at least once a year and use up the charge before
storing it again.
■ P2 cards and SD memory cards
• After removing a P2 card from the unit, be sure to attach the card cap that protects the card connectors from sand and dust.
Then place the card in the card case before storing or transporting it.
• After removing an SD memory card from the unit, be sure to place it in its case.
• Do not leave cards in locations where corrosive gases are present.
• Do not leave cards in automobiles, locations exposed to direct sunlight or other high-temperature locations.
• Do not leave cards in high humidity or excessively dusty locations.
