When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufﬁcient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm (3–15/16") or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).

Do not block the ventilation holes.

(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)

No naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water.

Also do not place any containers ﬁlled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, ﬂower vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, ﬁre or electric shock may be caused.)

Do not point the lens or the viewﬁnder directly into the sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead to the malfunctioning of internal circuitry. There is also a risk of ﬁre or electric shock.

CAUTION!

The following notes concern possible physical damage to the camcorder and to the user.

When carrying, be sure to always securely attach and use the provided strap. Carrying or holding the camcorder by the viewﬁnder and/or the LCD monitor can result in dropping the unit, or in a malfunction.

Take care not to get your ﬁnger caught in the cassette holder cover. Do not let children operate the camcorder, as they are particularly susceptible to this type of injury.

Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious damage to the camcorder.
