જાળવણી
1. સફાઈ
નરમ, સૂકા કપડાથી યુનિટ સાફ કરો. ઘર્ષક ક્લીનર્સ અથવા સોલવન્ટનો ઉપયોગ કરશો નહીં, કારણ કે તે ફિનિશને નુકસાન પહોંચાડી શકે છે.
2. બેટરી કેર
- જો યુનિટ લાંબા સમય સુધી ઉપયોગમાં ન આવે તો લીકેજ અટકાવવા માટે બેટરીઓ દૂર કરો.
- Recharge the Li-ion battery regularly to maintain its capacity.
3. SD Card Care
- Always format new SD cards with the DR-100MKII before first use.
- Avoid removing the SD card during recording or playback to prevent data corruption.
