First-Time Operation

Thank you for choosing an RCA camcorder.

You have selected a precision-engineered camcorder designed to give you years of performance and enjoyment.

Although your camcorder is very simple to use, it is important that you read and carefully follow the instructions in this manual until you are completely familiar with the proper operating procedures.

If you should experience a problem, always refer first to “Trouble Checks” on pages 36-37. Many times a simple solution is all that is needed, and it could save you a costly service call. If your camcorder should require service during the warranty period, refer to page 39 for a description of what we will do and instructions on how to request service.

1. Unpack the camcorder and accessories.

Make sure you remove all the accessories and information papers that came packed with the camcorder.

Save the packing materials and box in case you ever need to ship or store your camcorder.

The items shown below are packed with your camcorder. If any of the items are missing or appear damaged, contact your RCA dealer immediately.
