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.
