USAGE PRECAUTIONS
Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the H4n has been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection from external interference. However, the equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the H4n, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely. With any type of digital control device, the H4n included, electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the H4n. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the finish or damage the surface.
