Cautions for Use

Take care that no water enters the Movie Camera when using it in the rain and snow or on the beach.

The Movie Camera and the cassette could become damaged. (It might not be repairable.)

If seawater has accidentally splashed on the Movie Camera, moisten a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well and wipe the camera body carefully with it. Then thoroughly wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

Keep the Movie Camera away from magnetized equipment (TVs, video games, etc.).

Do not use near a cell phone because doing so may cause noise to adversely affect the picture and sound.

If you use the Movie Camera on or near a TV, the electromagnetic radiation may cause picture and sound distortion.

Strong magnetic fields generated by speakers and large motors may damage the recordings on the tape and distort the picture.

The electromagnetic radiation from micro- processors can adversely influence the Movie Camera and cause picture and sound distortion.

If the Movie Camera is adversely influenced by magnetized equipment and does not work correctly, turn the Movie Camera off, remove the Battery or disconnect the AC Adaptor and attach the Battery or connect the AC Adaptor again. Then turn the Movie Camera on.

Do not use the Movie Camera near a radio transmitter or high-voltage power line.

If you record near a radio transmitter or high- voltage power line, the recorded picture and sound may be adversely influenced.

Do not use the Movie Camera for surveillance and other industrial application.

If the Movie Camera is being used for a long time, the inside temperature could rise excessively and this may cause malfunction.

This Movie Camera is not designed for industrial use.

Take care that no sand and fine dust enters the Movie Camera when using it on a beach or similar places.

Sand and dust could damage the Movie Camera and cassette. (Be careful when inserting and removing the cassette.)

Do not spray insecticide or volatile agents on the Movie Camera.

Such agents could deform the body and cause the surface coating to peel off.

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

Do not use benzine, alcohol or thinner for cleaning.

They could deform the body and cause the surface coating to peel off.

Before cleaning, remove the Battery or unplug the AC Mains Lead from the AC mains socket.

Wipe the Movie Camera with a soft, clean cloth. To remove persistent stains, wipe with a cloth moistened with mild detergent diluted with water, and then finish with a dry cloth.

After use, always take out the cassette and remove the Battery or unplug the AC Mains Lead from the AC mains socket.

If you leave the cassette in the Movie Camera, the tape can become loosened and damaged.

If you leave the battery attached to the Movie Camera for a long time, the voltage level may drop very low so that the Battery cannot be used any more even after charging.

Notes about the AC Adaptor

When the battery is warm, charging takes longer than usual.

When you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, the radio reception may be distorted. Keep the AC Adaptor more than 1 metre away from the radio.

When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may emit a whirring sound. However, this is normal.

After use, be sure to disconnect the AC Mains Lead from the AC mains socket. (If you leave it connected, a small amount of electricity is consumed.)

Do not handle with wet hands.
