1 Important safety information

Do not make any adjustments and modiﬁcations that are not described

in this manual. Follow all safety instructions to ensure proper

operation of the device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for

damages resulting from non-compliance with the safety instructions.

1.1 Safety instructions

• Protect the device from rain or water to prevent 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, particularly at the

plugs and where cables exit the housing.

• Back up your data and recordings. The manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for any loss of data.

• 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 authorised service centres.

1.1.1 Batteries and rechargeable batteries

• Only use AAA type batteries or rechargeable batteries for the

device and CR2025 type for the remote control (DVT5500,

DVT7000).

• DVT1400, DVT1700: Never try to recharge the batteries.

• DVT3200 – DVT7000: Instead of rechargeable batteries, you can

use AAA type batteries. The LFH9154 Philips rechargeable batteries

can be charged in the device. Connect the device to a computer or

use an external battery charger.

• Fully charge the rechargeable batteries before ﬁrst use. A full

recharge cycle takes about 2.5 hours when the device is connected

to a computer.

• Remove batteries or rechargeable batteries from the device if it

will not be used for an extended period of time. The device can be

damaged by leaking batteries or rechargeable batteries.

• Do not remove batteries or rechargeable batteries from the device

while it is recording. If you do this, data may be damaged or lost.

Device malfunctions may also occur.

• Batteries and rechargeable batteries contain substances that may

pollute the environment. Used batteries and rechargeable batteries

should be disposed of at an ocial collection point.

• Caution: risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

1.1.2 Memory cards

• The device supports microSD memory cards up to 32 GB in

capacity.

• Make sure that the card has a suciently high data transfer rate. The

manufacturer makes no guarantee for trouble free operation.

• Formatting a memory card erases all data on the card. The memory

card must always be formatted in the device to ensure that the

format is correct. Formatting the memory card using a computer

can lead to eventual errors when reading or writing data.

1.1.3 Hearing protection

Observe the following guidelines when using headphones:

• Set the volume to a moderate level and do not use headphones to

listen for excessively long periods of time.

• Be particularly careful to avoid adjusting the volume to a level that

your hearing cannot deal with.

• Do not turn the volume up so high that you cannot hear what is

going on around you.

• In potentially dangerous situations you must be very careful, or

temporarily discontinue use.

• Do not use headphones while operating a motorised vehicle, cycling,

or skateboarding, etc. You could be a hazard to yourself and other

road users, and possibly be breaking the law.

1.1.4 Maximum sound power

• The manufacturer guarantees compliance with the maximum sound

power of its audio players as determined by relevant regulatory

bodies, but only with the original model of headphones supplied. If

you need to replace these headphones, we recommend contacting

your dealer to order the respective original Philips model.

1.1.5 Legal restrictions on recording

• The use of the device's recording function is subject to the legal

restrictions that may apply in your country. You should also respect

the privacy and personal rights of the third parties if you record

talks or lectures.

• Please note that, in certain countries, you may be legally required

to inform the person you are conversing with on the telephone

that you are recording the conversation, or that the recording of

telephone conversations is illegal. Please check if the use of such

data is legal in your country prior to recording telephone calls.
