●Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be incomplete.
●Charging time is based on room temperature of 20°C (68°F).
●Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.
●Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.
●To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Adapter near a radio.
●Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well- ventilated areas.
●The following operation stops charging:
•Set the Power Switch to “PLAY”, “A” or “M”.
•Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.
•Unplug the AC Adapter from the AC outlet.
•Detach the battery from the camcorder.
●Using the optional
●When you use the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight, the LCD monitor may be difficult to see. If this happens, use the viewfinder instead.
●The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.
●There may be a delay after you open the cassette holder cover until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.
●Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.
●When the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed, it may take a few seconds before actual recording starts. The “T” indicator starts rotating when the camcorder actually starts recording.
●The time required to calculate and display the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.
●“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette at its end is loaded.
Loading/Unloading A Cassette (pg. 10)
●It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to open. Do not apply force.
●If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder does not open, close the cassette holder cover and try again. If the cassette holder still does not open, turn the camcorder off then on again.
●If the tape does not load properly, open the cassette holder cover fully and remove the cassette. A few minutes later, insert it again.
●When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm environment, wait a short time before opening the cassette holder cover.
●Closing the cassette holder cover before the cassette holder recedes may cause damage to the camcorder.
●Even when the camcorder is switched off, a cassette can be loaded or unloaded. After the cassette holder is closed with the camcorder switched off, however, it may not recede. It is recommended to turn the power on before loading or unloading.
●When resuming recording, once you open the cassette holder cover a blank portion will be recorded on the tape or a previously recorded scene will be erased (recorded over) regardless of whether the cassette holder came out or not. See “Recording From The Middle Of A Tape” ( pg. 13).
