Cassette Compartment Door Release

WARNING: Replace cell only with 3-volt micro lithium cells – such as CR2025 – available from most local drug stores and camera shops. Use of other cells present a risk of fire or explosion.

Cautions:

Lithium cells must be disposed of properly. Never handle punctured or leaking cells. May cause burns or personal injury.

Keep out of the hands of children. Can cause death or injury if swallowed. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately for emergency treatment.

The lithium cells used in these devices may explode resulting in a fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212º F (100ºC), or incinerate.

Never use metallic tweezers to hold the cell, and never short circuit the + and - sides of the cell.

Notes:

The lithium cell is used to back up the calendar and other memory functions.

The battery will last about one year of normal usage.

Replace the battery with a new CR2025 cell when the camcorder’s time indicator starts to fall behind the correct time.

2 Insert the supplied lithium cell into the holder with the side facing outward.

Installing the Lithium Cell in the Remote Control

4 Press the “PUSH” mark until the cassette holder clicks into place. Then, close the cassette compartment door firmly until it clicks.
