Cautions for Use
When you use your Camcorder on a rainy or snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water enters the Camcorder.
•Water may cause the Camcorder or Cassette to malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)
•If sea water splashes onto the Camcorder, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then, wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
Keep the Camcorder away from magnetized equipment (such as a microwave oven, TV, video game equipment, etc.).
•If you use the Camcorder on or near a TV, images or sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave radiation.
•Do not use near a cell phone because doing so may cause noise to adversely affect the picture and sound.
•Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or images may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.
•Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a microprocessor may adversely affect the Camcorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.
•If the Camcorder is affected by magnetically charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off the Camcorder power and detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again. Thereafter, turn on the Camcorder power.
Do not use your Camcorder near radio transmitters or
•If you record pictures near radio transmitters or
Do not use this Camcorder for surveillance purposes or other business use.
•If you use the Camcorder for a long period of time, the internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may cause malfunction.
•This Camcorder is not intended for business use.
When you use your Camcorder on a beach or similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get into the Camcorder.
•Sand or dust may damage the Camcorder or Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and removing the Cassette.)
Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the Camcorder.
•If the Camcorder is sprayed with such chemicals, the camera body may be deformed and the surface finish may peel off.
•Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the Camcorder for a long period of time.
Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for cleaning the Camcorder.
•The Camcorder body may be deformed and the surface finish may peel off.
•Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack.
•Wipe the Camcorder with a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water and afterwards finish wiping with a dry cloth.
•For storing or transporting the Camcorder, place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the coating on the camera body from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach the Battery from the Camcorder or pull out the AC Cable from AC Jack.
•If the Cassette is left in the Camcorder, the tape sags and deteriorates.
•If the Battery is left on the Camcorder for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery will not function even after it is recharged.
About AC Adaptor
•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 temperature of the Battery has decreased or increased sufficiently, charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp continues to flash even after the Battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please contact a dealer.
•If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time than normal.
•If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 3 feet (1 meter) 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 Cable from the AC Jack. (If they are left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)
•Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery always clean.
Condensation
If you turn the Camcorder on when condensation occurs on the head or the tape, Condensation Indication [ 
DEW ] (yellow or red) blinks on the Viewfinder or the LCD Monitor and the messages [DEW DETECTED] or [EJECT TAPE] (only when the tape is inserted) appear. In this case, follow the procedure below.
Blinking in yellow:
Dew is slightly adhering to the head or the tape.
Blinking in red:
Dew has adhered to the head or the tape.
