Battery Packs

 

The supplied battery

Terminals

pack is a lithium-ion

 

battery. Before using

 

the supplied battery

 

pack or an optional

 

battery pack, be sure

 

to read the following

 

cautions:

 

To avoid hazards

... do not burn.

... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use. 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 (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fi re.

... use only specifi ed chargers.

To prevent damage and prolong service life

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

... charge within the temperature range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). 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 of time.

... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

 

Recording Medium

to prevent corruption or damage to your

 

 

 

recorded data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or

 

 

 

subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.

 

 

 

Do not splash the recording medium with water.

 

 

 

Do not use, replace, or store the recording

 

 

 

medium in locations that are exposed to strong

 

 

 

static electricity or electrical noise.

 

 

 

Do not turn off the camera power or remove

 

 

 

the battery or AC adapter during shooting,

 

 

 

playback, or when otherwise accessing the

 

 

 

recording medium.

 

 

 

Do not bring the recording medium near objects

 

 

 

that have a strong magnetic fi eld or that emit

 

 

 

strong electromagnetic waves.

 

 

 

Do not store the recording medium in locations

 

 

 

with high temperature or high humidity.

 

 

 

Do not touch the metal parts.

 

 

When formatting or erasing data using the

 

 

 

camera, only the file administration information

 

 

 

is changed. The data is not completely erased

 

 

 

from the hard disk. If you want to completely

 

 

 

erase all of the data, we recommend either

 

 

 

using commercially available software that

 

 

 

is specially designed for that purpose, or

 

 

 

by physically destroying the camera with a

 

 

 

hammer etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hard disk

 

 

 

 

 

Do not use the unit where it is subject to

 

 

 

vibrations or loud sounds.

 

 

If you move the unit suddenly, the drop
