metal parts, overheating can
result in a low-temperature burn.

recorder will get hot. If you hold on
to the recorder in this state, a low-
temperature burn may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature
of the recorder's body may be
lower than the environmental
temperature. If possible, wear
gloves when handling the recorder
in cold temperatures.
• Do not touch the metallic parts
of the recorder for a long period
of time at low temperatures.
This may damage your skin. At low
temperatures, handle the recorder
while wearing gloves.
