About this unit

The unit and card become warm after long operation, but this is not a malfunction.

Keep the SD Card/Hard Disk Video Camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

If you use the SD Card/Hard Disk Video Camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the SD Card/Hard Disk Video Camera may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

Do not use the SD Card/Hard Disk Video Camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and sound.

Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.

Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the SD Card/Hard Disk Video Camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.

If the SD Card/Hard Disk Video Camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly, turn the SD Card/Hard Disk Video Camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor. Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the SD Card/Hard Disk Video Camera on.

Do not use the SD Card/Hard Disk Video Camera near radio transmitters or high- voltage lines.

If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may be adversely affected.

Make sure to use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the cords and the cables supplied with them. Do not extend the cords and the cables.

Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the unit.

If the unit is sprayed with such chemicals, its body may be marred and the surface finish may peel off.

Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long time.

When you use the unit in a sandy or dusty place such as a beach, do not let sand or fine dust get into the body and terminals of the unit.

Also, keep the unit away from sea water.

Sand or dust may damage the unit. (Care should be taken when inserting and removing a card.)

If sea water splashes onto the unit, wipe off the water with a well wrung cloth. Then wipe the unit again with a dry cloth.

When carrying the unit, do not drop or bump it.

A strong impact can break the unit’s casing, causing it to malfunction.

Do not use benzine, paint thinner or alcohol for cleaning the unit.

Before cleaning, detach the battery or pull out the AC cable from the AC outlet.

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

Wipe the unit with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. To remove stubborn stains, thoroughly wring a cloth that has been soaked in a neutral detergent diluted with water and wipe the unit with it. Afterwards, wipe it with a dry cloth.

When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions that came with the cloth.

Do not use the unit for surveillance purposes or other business uses.

If you use the unit for a long time, heat will build up inside it and this may cause a malfunction.

This unit is not intended for industrial use.
