Notices and Safety Instructions

Notices regarding the battery pack

Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before recording outdoors.

To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.

When your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, if it is left in STBY mode without operation for more than 5 minutes with a tape installed, it will automatically turn off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.

Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.

Dropping the battery pack may damage it.

A brand new battery pack is not charged.

Before using the battery pack, charge it completely.

It is a good idea to use the viewfinder instead of the LCD when recording for a long time, because the LCD uses up more battery power.

*When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.

The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

Notices regarding video head cleaning

To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads reguarly. If a square block-shaped noise distorts playback pictures, or if only a blue screen is displayed during playback, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.

Do not use a wet type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.

Notices and Safety Instructions

Notice regarding the LENS

Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.

Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder.

2. Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder.

3. Over-rotation of the viewfinder may damage it.

Notices regarding Record or Playback using LCD

1. The LCD monitor is manufactured using high precision technology.

However, there can be tiny dots(red, blue or green in color) that appear on the LCD monitor.

These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way.

2. When you use the LCD monitor in direct sunlight or outdoors, it may be difficult to see the picture.

If this occurs, we recommend that the viewfinder is used.

3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.

Notices regarding the hand strap

Precautions regarding the Lithium battery

Warning: Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of the reach of children.

Should any battery be swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

1. The lithium battery maintains the clock function and user settings; even if the battery pack or AC adapter is removed.

2. The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 6 months under normal operation from time of installation.

3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time indicator will flash for about five seconds when you set the POWER switch to CAMERA. In this case, replace the lithium battery with a new one (type CR2025).
