ªAbout the AC adaptor
≥If the battery is warm, charging requires more time than normal.
≥If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] lamp may continue flashing and the battery may not be charged. After the battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, recharging starts automatically. So, wait for a while. If the lamp still continues flashing even after the recharging, the battery or AC adaptor may be faulty. If so, please contact a dealer.
≥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 radio. ≥When using the AC adaptor, it may generate
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC cable from the AC jack. (If they are left connected, a minute
amount of current is consumed.)
≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery clean.
ªAbout the cassette
Never place the cassette in a high temperature place.
≥The tape may be damaged, producing
When storing the cassette after use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning and take it out.
≥If the cassette is left for more than 6 months (depending on the storage condition) in the
Camcorder or stopped midway, the tape may sag and be damaged.
≥Once every 6 months, wind the tape to the end and then rewind it to the beginning. If the cassette is left for 1 year or longer without winding or rewinding, the tape may be deformed by expansion or shrinkage attributable to temperature and humidity. The wound tape may stick to itself.
≥Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) and humidity may damage the tape. Such usage may cause damage to the Camcorder and the heads.
≥After use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning, put the cassette in the case to
protect it from dust and store it upright.
Keep the cassette away from strong magnetism.
≥Apparatus using magnets such as magnetic necklaces and toys have magnetic force that is stronger than expected and they may erase the contents of a recording or may increase noise.
