General Battery Precautions

If the remote control or cassette adapter is not functioning even if it is being operated correctly, the batteries are exhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.

Use only the specified batteries  pg. 2 “PROVIDED

ACCESSORIES”

Please make note of the following rules for battery use. When misused, the batteries can leak or explode.

1.When replacing batteries, refer to page 2 for the remote control, or read the cassette adapter (C-P6U/C-P7U) instructions.

2.Do not use any different size of batteries from those specified.

3.Be sure to install batteries in the correct direction.

4.Do not use rechargeable batteries.

5.Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat as they can leak or explode.

6.Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

7.Remove the batteries from the unit if it is to be stored for an extended period to avoid battery leakage which can cause malfunctions.

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.

.... do not modify or disassemble.

.... use only specified chargers.

Terminals

2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.

.... charge in an environment where temperatures are within

the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high

temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.

.... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as

some machines use current even when switched off.

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications Charging ................ 10°C to 35°C Operation ............... 0°C to 40°C Storage .................. –10°C to 30°C

Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. During use . . .

.... make sure the cassette bears the S-VHS-C or

VHS-C mark.

.... be aware 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.

2. Store cassettes . . .

.... away from heaters or other heat sources.

.... out of direct sunlight.

.... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary shock or

vibration.

.... where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic fields

(such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).

.... vertically, in their original cases.

Main Unit

1. For safety, DO NOT . . .

.... open the camcorder’s chassis.

.... disassemble or modify the unit.

.... short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack. Keep it

unit.

.... remove the battery pack or disconnect the power supply

while the power is on.

.... leave the battery pack attached when the camcorder is not

in use.
