❍Although the battery pack’s operating temperature range is from 32 ˚F to 104 ˚F (0 ˚C to 40 ˚C), the optimal range is from 50 ˚F to 86 ˚F (10 ˚C to 30 ˚C). At cold

temperatures, performance will temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before

E

use.

❍Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially at normal temperatures.

About the battery terminal cover

The battery terminal cover has a [ ]-shaped hole. This is useful when you wish to differentiate between charged and uncharged battery packs. For example, with charged battery packs, attach the terminal cover so that the [ ]-shaped hole shows the blue label.

Cassette Handling Precautions

❍Rewind tapes after use. If the tape becomes slack and damaged, it may cause picture and sound distortion.

❍Return cassettes in the case and store them upright.

❍Do not leave the cassette in the camcorder after use.

❍Do not use spliced tapes or nonstandard cassettes as they may damage the camcorder.

❍Do not use tapes that have been jammed as video heads may become dirty.

❍Do not insert anything into the small holes of the cassette, or cover them with cellophane tape.

❍Handle cassettes with care. Do not drop or subject them to severe impact as this may damage the cassettes.

❍Rewind tapes from time to time if they are stored for a long time.

❍With cassettes equipped with a memory function, metal plated terminals may become dirty with use. Clean the terminals with a cotton swab after about 10 times of loading/unloading. The memory function is not supported by the camcorder.
