Safety instructions

• Protect the device from rain and liquids to prevent dam-

age to the device or a short circuit.

• Do not expose the device to excessive heat caused by

placing it on a heating device or in direct sunlight.

• Protect the cables from damage by being trapped, partic-

ularly at the plugs and where cables exit the housing.

• Do not perform any maintenance operations that are not

described in this user manual. Do not disassemble the

device into its component parts to carry out repairs. The

device may only be repaired in authorized service centers.

• All wireless devices may be susceptible to interference,

which could aect performance.

• Back up your data and recordings. The manufacturer’s

warranty does not cover loss of data resulting from user

actions.

Rechargeable built-in battery

• This device contains a built-in Li-polymer battery which

should not be replaced by the customer. The battery may

only be replaced in authorized service centers or by an

authorized Philips partner for dictation equipment.

• Batteries contain substances that may pollute the envi-

ronment. Used batteries should be disposed of at an o-

cial collection point.

Data reset

Philips VoiceTracer has an internal memory with 8 GB built-

in storage. If you want to perform a factory data reset, ob-

serve the following cautions:

• Back up your data and recordings. Performing a factory

data reset will delete all data on your device.

• Formatting the memory on a computer may cause incom-

patibilities with your device. Format the memory only on

the device.

Hearing protection

Observe the following guidelines when you use head-

phones:

• Set the volume to a moderate level and don’t use head-

phones to listen for excessively long periods of time.

• Be particularly careful to avoid adjusting the volume to a

level that your hearing can’t deal with.

• Don’t turn the volume up so high that you can’t hear what

is going on around you.

• In potentially dangerous situations, be particularly careful

or temporarily discontinue use.

• Don’t use headphones while you are operating a motor-

ized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, and so on. You could

be a hazard to yourself and other road users, and possi-

bly be breaking the law.

Small children

Your device and its accessories may contain small parts.

Keep them out of the reach of small children.

Medical device interference

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment may inter-

fere with the functionality of inadequately protected medi-

cal devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the

medical device to determine if they are adequately shiel-

ded from external RF energy or if you have any questions.

Switch o your device in health care facilities when any

regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hos-

pitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that

could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Implanted medical devices

This device contains components that emit electromagnet-

ic waves. Electromagnetic waves might interfere with the

operation of implanted medical devices, such as pacemak-

ers or implanted cardioverter debrillators. Manufacturers of

medical devices recommend that a minimum separation of

15.3 cm (6 inches) should be maintained between a wireless

device and an implanted medical device to avoid potential

interference with the medical device. Persons who have

such devices should:

• Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 cm (6

inches) from the medical device when the wireless device

is turned on.

• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.

• Turn the wireless device o immediately if there is any

reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

• Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of

their implanted medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device

with an implanted medical device, consult your health care

provider.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hear-

ing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.

Vehicles

RF signals may aect improperly installed or inadequately

shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as elec-

tronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock)

braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air

bag systems. For more information, check with the manu-

facturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any equip-

ment that has been added.

Only qualied personnel should service the device or install

the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be

dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply

to the device.

Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your

vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store

or carry ammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in

the same compartment as the device, its parts, or enhance-

ments. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember

that air bags inate with great force.

Use in aircraft

Wireless transmitters can negatively aect the operation of

other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction.

Turn o your device when you travel in aircraft.
