Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for cleaning the SD Multi AV Device.

The camera body may be deformed and the surface finish may peel off.

Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC Main Lead from the AC Main socket.

Wipe the SD Multi AV Device with a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water, and afterward, finish wiping with a dry cloth.

For storing or transporting the SD Multi AV Device, place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads to prevent the coating on the camera body from being worn.

After use, be sure to take the Card out and detach the Battery from the SD Multi AV Device or pull out the AC Main Lead from AC Main socket.

If the Battery is left on the SD Multi AV Device for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery may not function even after it is recharged.

ªAbout the Lens

When the Lens is Fogged Up:

Turn off the SD Multi AV Device and leave the SD Multi AV Device in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lens temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally.

ªAbout the AC Adaptor

If the Battery is warm, charging takes longer time than usual.

If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or more away from radio.

After use, be sure to pull out the AC Main Lead from the AC Main socket. (The SD Multi AV Device consumes

approx. 0.5 W of power even when it is turned off.) Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery

clean at all times.

Remove the battery if the device is left unused for a long time.

The temperature of the SD Multi AV Device and the battery may rise while charging the battery. Such rise of temperature does not indicate a fault.

Do not install, remove, plug or unplug the battery or power cord while the power is on.

ªAbout the LCD Monitor

In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.

If your SD Multi AV Device is extremely cold when you turn its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor will be slightly darker than usual at first. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to the normal brightness.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 110,000 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.

ªOptimal Use of the Battery

Battery Characteristics

This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power is based upon the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in an extremely cold environment, the Battery may operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery becomes extremely hot, a protective function may operate, and the Battery may become unusable for a while.

Be Sure to Detach the Battery after Use

Be sure to detach the Battery from the SD Multi AV Device. (If it is left attached to the SD Multi AV Device, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the SD Multi AV Device power is off.) If the Battery is left attached to the SD Multi AV Device for a long time, over discharge takes place. The Battery may become unusable after it is charged.

Disposing of an Unusable Battery

The Battery has a limited life.

Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.

Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery Clean

Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust, or other substances.

If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see if the Battery body and terminals are deformed.

Attaching a deformed Battery to the SD Multi AV Device may damage the SD Multi AV Device.
