Precautions on handling SD Memory Cards

•After removing the card from the camcorder, be sure to immediately store it in the card case.

•Do not disassemble or modify the card.

•Do not strike, bend, drop, or allow the card to become wet.

•Do not touch the metal terminals with your hands or metallic objects.

•Do not peel off the label from the card.

•Do not attach other labels or stickers to the card.

•Do not use or store the card in locations directly exposed to sunlight, heat vents, heating appliances, or other locations with extremely high temperatures such as inside a closed vehicle in the summer.

•Do not use or store the card in humid or dusty locations.

•Do not use or store the card in locations exposed to corrosive gases.

Protecting your data

Back view

Write-protect switch

Memo space

•Set the write-protect switch to “LOCK”. Set the switch to the unlocked side when you want to record or edit the card again.

•Use an oil-based felt-tipped pen to write in the memo space. Do not use a pencil or ballpoint pen as these may damage the card or destroy the data on the card.

•Do not remove the card or turn off the power of the camcorder and peripheral equipment while data is being read or written. Also do not remove the power source from the camcorder. These actions can cause data to be destroyed. (Please be aware that Sharp Corporation cannot be held liable for any data loss or other loss directly or indirectly caused by data loss.)

•Make backup copies of your data wherever possible.

•The AC adapter/battery charger may interfere with reception if used near a radio.

•Prevent flammables, liquids, and metal objects from entering the adapter/charger.

•The adapter/charger is a sealed unit. Do not attempt to open or modify it.

•Do not damage, drop, or subject the adapter/ charger to vibration.

•Do not leave the adapter/charger in direct sunlight.

•Avoid using the adapter/charger in humid or extremely hot places.

Replacing the Fluorescent Lamp

This camcorder uses a fluorescent lamp to backlight the LCD monitor. If the monitor becomes dark or difficult to view, the fluores- cent lamp may need to be replaced. Contact the nearest SHARP service centre or your dealer for further advice.

Battery Pack

This camcorder uses a lithium-ion type battery pack.

Charging

•Charge the battery pack immediately (or a day) before use. The battery pack gradually self-discharges even if stored in a fully charged state.

•Charge the battery pack between 10°C and 30°C.

•Fully charge the battery pack. Use of an insufficiently charged battery pack will shorten actual time of use.

•Refresh (discharging before charging) is unnecessary.
