working incorrectly, is making an unusual sound, has a strange smell,
has smoke emitting from it or liquids have got inside it. Have a
qualified technician check the recorder.
... you disconnect the power supply and aerial if you will not be using
the recorder for a long period or during a thunderstorm.
