Battery Packs

The battery packs are nickel- cadmium or nickel metal-hydride batteries. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

1) To avoid hazard… do not burn.

do not short-circuit the terminals.

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes:

1) During use…

beware that recording onto prerecorded tapes automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.

make sure the cassette is positioned properly when inserting.

do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly without allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and can result in damage.

do not open the front tape cover. This exposes the tape to fingerprints and dust.
