General Battery Precautions

If the remote control is not functioning even if it is being operated correctly, the batteries are exhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.

Use only the following batteries: AAA (R03) size x 2

Please make note of the following rules for battery use. When misused, the batteries can leak or explode.

1.When replacing batteries, refer to page 54.

2.Do not use any different size of batteries from those specified.

3.Be sure to install batteries in the correct direction.

4.Do not use rechargeable batteries.

5.Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat as they can leak or explode.

6.Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

7.Remove the batteries from the unit if it is to be stored for an extended period to avoid battery leakage which can cause malfunctions.

8.Do not recharge the provided batteries.

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.Terminals

... 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.

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.
