Others 5 Cautions for use

When using the unit

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

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

•Do not use the SD 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 Video Camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.

•If the SD Video Camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly, turn the SD Video Camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor.

Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the SD Video Camera on.

●Do not use the SD 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.

●Use the cord or cable supplied with the unit or other devices. Do not extend the cords and the cables.

●Do not expose the unit to insecticide or volatile substances, or allow prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl products. (This can cause deformation and peeling.)

●Do not drop or impact the unit while carrying.

•Strong impacts may damage the outer casing, causing it to malfunction. ●Do not use the unit for business purposes such as surveillance.

•This unit is not of professional grade, and can build up heat internally over extended use, resulting in trouble.

●Before long periods of disuse:

•Wipe away moisture and dirt with a soft dry cloth, dry naturally and store with desiccant (silica gel).

●To dry this unit, do not use a microwave oven or regular oven, and do not place the unit in the immediate vicinity of a stove or open fire. Doing so may cause the unit to catch fire or cause smoke to emanate, resulting in malfunctioning.
