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, as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

... use only specified 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. 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.

Recording Medium

Be sure to follow the guidelines below 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 field 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.
