Downloaded From VideoCamera-Manual.com Manuals
9.
Batteries could explode, for instance. All batteries can cause

and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
batteries, particularly when placing it inside your pocket,
purse, or other container with metal objects. Do not dispose
of batteries in fire as they may explode.
10.
To prevent electric shock, do not attempt to disassemble or
repair your camcorder by yourself.
11.
Some camcorder models accept non-rechargeable batteries.
When using these batteries, do not charge them. Otherwise,
dangers such as explosion and fire may occur.
Warranty
1.
Warranty is void if damage or system failure occurred due to
outside factors such as collision, fire, flood, dirt, sewage,
earthquake, and other force majeure events as well as
incorrect usage of electricity or use of non-original
accessories.
2.
It is the sole responsibility of the user if problems (such as
data loss and system failure) occurred due to non-factory
installed software, parts, and/or non-original accessories.
3.
Do not change the camcorder. Any changes to the camcorder
invalidate the warranty.
Taking care of your camcorder

5.
If your camcorder becomes wet, wipe it with a dry cloth as
soon as possible.
6.
Salt or seawater may cause severe camcorder damage.
7.
Do not drop, knock, or shake the camcorder. A rude behavior

circuit board or deform the lens shape.
8.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the camcorder.
9.

5.
The capacity of your camcorder batteries will reduce each
time it is charged/emptied.
6.
Storage at too high or low temperatures will also result in a
