62ENCAUTIONS

General Battery Precautions

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

Use only the following batteries: R03 (AAA) 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 40.

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.

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:

Terminals

1.To avoid hazards . . .

.... do not burn.

.... do not short-circuit the terminals.

.... 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.

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).

.... vertically, in their original cases.

LCD Monitor

1.To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO NOT . . .

.... push it strongly or apply any shocks.

.... place the camcorder with the LCD monitor on the bottom.

2.To prolong service life . . .

.... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

3.Be aware of the following phenomena for LCD monitor use.

These are not malfunctions:

•While using the camcorder, the surface around the LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor may heat up.

•If you leave power on for a long time, the surface around the LCD monitor becomes hot.
