Notes and Safety Instructions

Notes regarding the battery pack

-Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.

-To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not

operating it.

- If your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape inserted, it will automatically turn itself 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, you need to charge it completely.

-It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when making a long recording, 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.

Notes regarding the Video Head Cleaning

-To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly.

If a square block-shape distorts playback, or only a blue screen is displayed, 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.
