zShould video or audio recording fail due to a malfunction of this camera-recorder or the P2 cards used, we will not assume liability for such failure.

What to remember when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others

Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the unit or a computer will merely change the file management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards. When throwing these cards away or transferring them to others, either physically destroy them or use a data deletion program for computers (commercially available) to completely erase the data. Users are responsible for managing the data on their memory cards.

Precautions when installing USB drivers

Select “AJ-HPX3100” when installing USB drivers from the CD-ROM that comes with this unit (AJ-HPX3100) onto a personal computer.
