Precautions
General precautions
∙Do not store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas, as its components may be damaged.
∙Do not store the product in a hot environment. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
∙Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside, which may damage the electronic circuits.
∙Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.
∙Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may damage the internal components.
∙Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a slightly damp soft cloth.
∙Do not open the battery cover while an image is being recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored on file.
∙If the product or any of its accessories are not working properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center. The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange for the product to be repaired.
∙Test for proper operation before using the camcorder.
