CAUTIONS

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to
read the following cautions:
1.During use . . .
...make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV mark.
...be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes
automatically erases the previously recorded
video and audio signals.
...make sure the cassette is positioned properly
when inserting.
...do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly
without allowing the tape to run at all. This
slackens the tape and can result in damage.
...do not open the front tape cover. This exposes
the tape to fingerprints and dust.
2.Store cassettes . . .
...away from heaters or other heat sources.
...out of direct sunlight.
...where they won’t be subject to unnecessary
shock or vibration.
...where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic
fields (such as those generated by motors,
transformers or magnets).
...ver tically, in their original cases.

Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is
a lithium-ion battery. Before
using the supplied battery
pack or an optional battery
pack, be sure to read the
following cautions:
1.To avoid hazards . . .
...do not burn.
...do not short-circuit the terminals. When
transporting, make sure the provided battery cap
is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is
misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
...do not modify or disassemble.
...do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery
to overheat, explode or catch fire.
...use only specified chargers.
2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
...do not subject to unnecessary shock.
...charge in an environment where temperatures
are within the tolerances shown in the chart
below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—
cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction,
while warmer temperatures can prevent
complete charging.
...store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to
high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
...fully charge and then fully discharge the battery
every 6 months when storing the battery pack
over a long period time.
...remove from charger or powered unit when not
in use, as some machines use current even
when switched off.
NOTES:
●It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
Temperature Range Specifications
Charging ........................ 10°C to 35°C
Operation....................... 0°C to 40°C
Storage .......................... –10°C to 30°C
●Recharging time is based on room temperature of
20°C.
●The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
