SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 attach and use the provided hand strap. Hold the camcorder firmly in your hand, with the strap securely around your wrist. 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 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.

CAUTION! Attaching the camcorder to the Docking Station, connecting cables (AUDIO/VIDEO, S-VIDEO, Editing, DC) and leaving the unit on top of the TV is not recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camcorder to fall, resulting in damage.

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as there is a risk of fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery terminals, or the battery itself, to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

•When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If you misplace the battery cap, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but possess a large power capacity. However, when the battery pack becomes cool in an environment subject to cold temperatures (below 10°C/50°F), the battery pack has a characteristic that its usage time becomes shorter and may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect perform- ance.

(If you’re using some kind of heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with the pad.)

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
