Care and Maintenance

Camcorder Care and Storage

Keep dust and grit from entering the camcorder’s cassette door. They are abrasive and cause excessive wear both to the camcorder’s recording/playback heads and cassettes.

Always replace the lens cap on the lens when the camcorder is not in use.

When the camcorder is not in use, always remove the cassette and AC adapter/charger or battery.

The camcorder can be damaged by improper storage or handling. Do not subject the camcorder to swinging, shaking, or dropping.

Do not touch the lens with your fingers. The oil from your skin can damage the lens. Always use lens-cleaning tissue and commercially prepared cleaning solution designed for use on camera lens. Improper cleaning may scratch the lens.

Before handling your camcorder, make sure your hands and face are free from any chemical products such as suntan lotion, as it may damage the finish.

Do not operate the camcorder for extended periods in temperatures below 40°F (4°C) or above 95°F (35°C). Do not store the camcorder in temperatures below -22°F (-30°C) or above 149°F (65°C).

Do not operate the camcorder in extremely humid environments.

Do not aim your camcorder at the sun or other bright objects.

Do not leave your camcorder in direct sunlight. Doing so could permanently damage the camcorder’s internal parts.

Rechargeable Battery Care and Storage

Do not operate the battery at temperatures below 14°F (–10°C) or above 95°F (35°C). The battery may be damaged if operated at temperatures above 122°F (50°C). Operation time will decrease at extremely low temperatures.

Store the battery at normal room temperature.

The battery should be charged at a temperature of 41°F-95°F (5°C-35°C) to prevent damage.

After repeated chargings and use, the operation time will gradually decrease. When operation time becomes too short to be useful, it is time to replace the battery.

Cassette Care and Storage

When you are finished with a cassette, rewind it, remove it from the camcorder, and label it.

Do not touch or cover the small holes in the cas- sette or use cassettes with damaged or spliced tape.

Store cassettes vertically in their protective boxes at normal room temperatures. Excessive heat or cold may damage your cassettes.

Keep the cassette away from strong magnetic fields such as electric motors and other devices.

Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or exposed to moisture.

Close the safety tab to prevent accidental erasure.
