Troubleshooting
Device won't turn on with case on
Ensure the power button is not obstructed by the case and that the battery compartment is securely closed.
Display window is smudged or dirty
Gently wipe the display window with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.

Verify that the H5 is correctly positioned within the case. Re-adjust the recorder's position to align with the case openings. Ensure no cables are snagged.
