IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
MOISTURE
Moisture may occur if the video camera/recorder is moved from a cold area to a warm humid area. A flashing "DEW" indication in the viewfinder indicates that moisture has condensed on the recorder mechanism, which could result in tape damage. Since condensation builds up gradually, the indication does not appear immediately when condensation starts. When the temperature or humidity of the room changes abruptly, turn the power on and check that the "DEW" indication does not appear, then wait for about an hour for safety before using the camera/recorder. When the "DEW" indication in the viewfinder is flashing the unit will not operate. When this happens, slide the "EJECT" switch, remove the tape, and wait for the moisture to dry... the "DEW" indication in the viewfinder will stop flashing.
