Camcorder

Do not touch the pick up lens.

Do not subject the camcorder to vibrations or strong impacts while the DISC access indicator is on or flashing. The data may not be correctly recorded on the disc, and the recording may be permanently lost.

Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel or the disc cover. Be careful when closing the LCD panel.

Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures (like the inside of a car under direct sunlight), or high humidity.

Do not use the camcorder near strong electromagnetic fields such as above TVs, near plasma TVs or mobile phones.

Do not point the lens or viewfinder at strong light sources. Do not leave the camcorder pointed at a bright subject.

Do not use or store the camcorder in dusty or sandy places. The camcorder is not waterproof – avoid also water, mud or salt. If any of the above should get into the camcorder it may damage the camcorder and/or the lens. Be sure to close the disc compartment cover after use.

Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment.

Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function properly, consult qualified service personnel.

Handle the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to shocks

or vibration as this may cause damage.

Battery Pack

DANGER!

Treat the battery pack with care.

Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).

Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60 °C. Do not leave it near a heater or inside a car in hot weather.

Do not try to disassemble or modify it.

Do not drop it or subject it to shocks.

Do not get it wet.

Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.

Contact of the battery pack terminals with metallic objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.

Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.

Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully and to store it in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30 °C. If you do not use the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once a year. If you have more than one battery pack, perform these
