Camcorder Traveling and Cassette Tips

Traveling Tips

Write down your camcorder’s serial number and keep it separate from the camcorder when traveling. If your camcorder is lost or stolen, you will be able to identify it.

Make sure you have any plug adapters you need before taking your camcorder to other countries. Consult your dealer.

Use extra care to avoid damage to your camcorder and accessories when operating them at a beach or pool. Spray, sand, and dust should be avoided. If your lens has been exposed to the elements, clean it only with proper lens cleaning supplies.

Carry your camcorder in a carrying case when traveling. See page 44 for a specially designed case. An ordinary suitcase or carry bag does not offer the protection your camcorder needs. Treat your camcorder as carry-on luggage to protect it from rough handling.

Cassette Tips

Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or exposed to moisture. The tape may jam or damage your camcorder.

When you are finished recording, break off the safety tab on the cassette to prevent accidental erasure.

Label your cassettes before storing them.

Store your cassettes vertically in their protective cases at normal room temperature.

Do not leave your camcorder or cassettes in a car or outdoors for an extended period. Excessive heat or cold may damage them.
