Video Cassette Tapes

Use only tapes with the or mark with this VIEWCAM.

To protect recordings against erasure When a previously recorded cassette is used again for recording, the previously recorded material is erased. To protect a recording against accidental erasure, slide the tab on the cassette to cover the opening. (A red mark will be exposed.) To record, slide the tab to open the opening.

Cleaning

Many plastic parts are used in the VIEWCAM casing. Do not use thinner, benzene or other strong chemical cleaners. These may cause discoloration and damage to the casing.

Clean the casing with a soft, dry cloth. If the casing is particularly dirty, wipe the casing with a tightly wrung cloth dampened with a diluted, neutral detergent. Then wipe it again with a soft, dry cloth.

Use a soft cloth to wipe finger marks and other soiling off the LCD screen.

Use a soft cloth, or compressed air and lens paper designed for photographic lenses to clean the lens.
