Precautions

General precautions

Do not store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas, as its components may be damaged.

Do not store the product in a hot environment. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.

Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside, which may damage the electronic circuits.

Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.

High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed.

Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may damage the internal components.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a slightly damp soft cloth.

Do not open the battery cover while an image is being recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored on file.

If the product or any of its accessories are not working properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center.

The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange for the product to be repaired.

Test for proper operation before using the camcorder.

Notes on Waterproof Case

Waterproof Case performance

The waterproof case performance is equivalent to IPX8

(60m/1hr).

Underwater time limit: Do not use the waterproof case underwater for more than 60 minutes and 60 meters to ensure water resistance.

The waterproof case is not dust-proof.

The camera and other accessories are not waterproof unless enclosed by the waterproof case.

When using the camcorder in cold or humid environments or when going underwater, use the anti-fog insert to prevent fogging. The anti-fog insert only provides a certain degree of prevention, results vary depending on the actual environment.

The anti-fog insert is not for long-term use, it must be replaced regularly.

Notes before going underwater:

(Do the following actions indoors. Do not do these actions on sandy or dusty environment or near the water’s edge.)

Check if the area surrounding the waterproof case lock is clean, do not allow dirt or sand or foreign objects around it.

Ensure that the waterproof case is closed.

Ensure that the waterproof case has no cracks or scratches. If the waterproof case has been dropped, contact your dealer for a replacement.

vii

Notes for general use:

Avoid opening or closing the waterproof case near the water’s edge (sea, lake, beach, lake, etc.). Do not open or close the waterproof case lock with wet hands, or hands with sand or dust.

The accessories (batteries, etc.) used with the camcorder are not water resistant, be careful in using them.

Do not drop the waterproof case to ensure waterproof durability.

Do not place the waterproof case in temperatures above 40°C or below 0°C to ensure waterproof durability.

Do not attempt to make alterations on the waterproof case or seal the vents yourself, doing so may damage its ability to maintain the camera waterproof.

When using the camcorder

The waterproof properties of the waterproof case apply to fresh water and saltwater only; they do not apply to cleaning substances, chemicals, or water from spas, etc. Any such liquids should be wiped off immediately.

Do not immerse the waterproof case in water at a depth greater than 60 meters.

Do not subject the waterproof case to highly pressurized water.

Do not immerse in water for longer than 60 minutes. After 60 minutes of use in water, allow the waterproof case to dry for at least 10 minutes.

Do not immerse in water warmer than 40°C (104°F).

Do not open or close the waterproof case lock with wet hands.

Do not open the waterproof case lock next to water or a pool.

The waterproof case is not dust-proof.

viii

Do not bump or knock the waterproof case underwater, otherwise the lock may open.

Notes on waterproof case maintenance

The waterproof of sealing material is replaceable for a fee. The material should be replaced once a year to maintain its water resistance.

After using the waterproof case

Be sure to come ashore within 60 minutes after going underwater, this will maintain the appearance, quality and water resistance of the waterproof case.

After taking pictures underwater, clean the waterproof case with running tap water. Do not use any soapy water, mild detergents, alcohol or similar liquids to clean the case.

Wipe off water drops on the waterproof case with a soft lint-free cloth (avoid fiber). Be sure to wait until the waterproof case is completely dry before opening the waterproof case lock.

After removing the camcorder from the waterproof case, soak the waterproof case in a bucket of clean water for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, wipe the waterproof case dry with a lint-free cloth. Place the waterproof case in a well ventilated cool place to dry naturally (do not place under direct sunlight).

Other notes

If water accidentally enters the camcorder or any problem occurs when it is in water, please get it out of the water immediately and take proper actions. Dry the camcorder and send it for repair, if required.
