These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption rate (SAR).If you have any questions about this product, you may call: Sony Customer Information Service Center 1-800-222-7669 or http://www.sony.com/Declaration of ConformityTrade Name : SONYModel : ICD-SX2000Responsible Party : Sony Electronics Inc.Address : 16530 Via Esprillo,San Diego, CA 92127 USATelephone Number : 858-942-2230This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.For the customer in CanadaThis device complies with Industry Canada's licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause interference; and(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This model has been tested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.SpecificationsCapacity (User available capacity*¹*²)16 GB (approx. 12.80 GB = 13,743,895,347 Byte)Maximum recording time (Built-in memory)The maximum recording time of all the folders is as follows.LPCM 96 kHz/24 bit 6 hours 35 minutesLPCM 44.1 kHz/16 bit 21 hours 35 minutesMP3 320 kbps 95 hours 25 minutesMP3 192 kbps*³ 159 hoursMP3 128 kbps 238 hoursMP3 48 kbps (MONO) 636 hours NoteWhen you are going to record continuously for a long time, you may need a USB AC adaptor (not supplied).
