On operation

Operate the camcorder on 6.0 V (battery pack) or 7.5 V (AC power adaptor). For DC or AC operation, use the accessories recommended in this manual.

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the casing, unplug the camcorder and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

Do not hold the camcorder by the viewfinder or the microphone.

Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock. Be particularly careful of the lens.

Keep the lens cap on the lens when not using the camera.

Do not wrap up the camcorder and operate it since heat may build up internally.

Keep the camcorder away from strong magnetic fields or mechanical vibration.

Do not let sand get into the camcorder.

When you use the camcorder on a sandy beach or dusty place, protect it from the sand or dust. Sand or dust may cause the camcorder to malfunction and sometimes the malfunction cannot be repaired.

Do not let the camcorder get wet.

Keep the camcorder from rain or sea water. It may cause malfunction and sometimes the malfunction cannot be repaired.

On care

When the unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect the power source and remove the tape. Periodically turn on the power, operate the camera section and player section and play back a tape for about 3 minutes.

Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove dust. If there are fingerprints on it, remove them with a soft cloth. Clean the camcorder body with a dry, soft cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent which may damage the finish.
