Others

To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you have completely used up the charged capacity.

Dust and other matter attached to the battery terminals should be removed.

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 adaptor

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 adaptor may be faulty. If so, please contact a dealer.

If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC

adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio. When using the AC adaptor, 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 adaptor and battery clean.

ªAbout the cassette

Never place the cassette in a high temperature place.

The tape may be damaged, producing mosaic-like noise at the time of playback.

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 movie camera or stopped midway, the tape may sag and be damaged.

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 movie camera and the heads.

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.

ªAbout the card

When inserting or removing the card, always set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF].

When the access lamp is illuminated (during access to the card), do not open the card slot cover to pull out the card, turn off the power, or cause any vibrations or impacts.

Do not leave the card in places where there is high temperature or direct sunlight, or where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated. Moreover, do not fold or drop the card, and do not strongly vibrate it. The card may break or the contents of the card

may be destroyed or erased.

After use, be sure to remove the card from the movie camera for storage.

After use, or when storing or carrying the card, put it in the storage case.

Do not allow dust, water, or foreign substances to adhere to the terminals on the back of the card. Moreover, do not touch the terminals with your hand.
