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 E label.

Lithium Button Battery Handling Precautions

WARNING!

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212 °F) or incinerate the battery.

Replace the battery with a CR1616 made by Panasonic, Hitachi Maxell, Sony, Toshiba, Varta or Renata. Use of other batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion.

Do not pick up the battery using tweezers or other metal tools as this will cause a short circuit.

Wipe the battery with a clean dry cloth to ensure proper contact.

Keep the battery out of reach of children. If it is swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately. The battery case may break and the battery fluids may damage stomach and intestines.

Do not disassemble, heat or immerse the battery in water to avoid the risk of explosion.

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.
