Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion.
≥If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.
ªAbout the AC adapter
≥If the battery is warm, charging requires more time than normal.
≥If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] lamp may continue flashing, and the battery may not be charged. After the battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, recharging starts automatically. So, wait for a while. If the lamp still continues flashing even after the recharging, the battery or AC adapter may be faulty. If so, please contact a dealer.
≥If you use the AC adapter near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adapter 1 m (3 feet) or more away from radio.
≥When using the AC adapter, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC mains lead from the AC mains socket. (If they are left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)
≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC adapter and battery clean.
ªAbout the cassette
Never place the cassette in a high temperature place.
≥The tape may be damaged, producing
When storing the cassette after use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning and take it out.
≥If the cassette is left for more than 6 months (depending on
the storage condition) in the
≥Once every 6 months, wind the tape to the end and then rewind it to the beginning. If the cassette is left for 1 year or longer without winding or rewinding, the tape may be deformed by expansion or shrinkage attributable to temperature and humidity. The wound tape may stick to itself.
≥Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), and humidity may damage the tape. Such usage may cause damage to the
≥After use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning, put the
cassette in the case to protect it from dust, and store it upright.
Keep the cassette away from strong magnetism.
≥Apparatuses using magnets such as magnetic necklaces and toys have magnetic force that is stronger than expected, and they may erase the contents of a recording or may increase noise.
ªLCD monitor/viewfinder
LCD monitor
≥When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a dry soft cloth. ≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation
may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.
Viewfinder
≥To remove dust from inside the viewfinder, dismount the viewfinder first. When the dust is difficult to remove, get rid of it with a cotton swab dampened with water. Then wipe the viewfinder with a dry cotton swab.
≥To clean the inside of the Viewfinder, remove the Eyecup 1, then keep pressing 2 and pull the cover 3 out.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately 113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.
ªPeriodical check-ups
≥To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend replacing worn parts such as heads after approx. 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends on operating conditions including temperature, humidity and dust.)
