If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged.

Attaching a battery with damaged terminals can damage the unit or AC adaptor.

Do not throw an old battery into fire.

Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion.

If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.

About the AC adaptor

If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, charging may take time or the battery may not be charged.

If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make sure that the terminals of the battery or the AC adaptor are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects or dust, then reconnect them properly. Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust on the terminals of the battery or the AC adaptor.

If the charging lamp is still flashing, the temperature of the battery may be extremely high or extremely low or something may be wrong with the battery or AC adaptor. Contact consumer support. (l 157, 158).

If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the radio.

When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

After use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)

Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery clean.

LCD monitor

When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth such as eye glass cleaner.

In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft cloth such as eye glass cleaner.

When the unit has become very cold, for example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual immediately after the power is turned on. The normal brightness will be restored when the unit’s internal temperature rises.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 230,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.
