ªTips for using your Palmcorder

When you use your Palmcorder on a rainy or snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water enters the Palmcorder.

≥Water may cause the Palmcorder or Cassette to malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)

≥If sea water splashes onto the Palmcorder, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the Palmcorder body carefully. Then, wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

Keep the Palmcorder away from magnetically charged equipment (such as a TV, game equipment, etc.)

≥If you use the Palmcorder near a TV, images or sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave radiation.

≥Strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors, recording on the tape may be damaged, or images may be distorted.

≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a microprocessor may adversely affect the Palmcorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.

≥If the Palmcorder is affected by magnetically charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off the Palmcorder power and detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again. Thereafter, turn on the Palmcorder power.

Do not use your Palmcorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high- voltage lines, recorded images or sounds may be adversely affected.

Do not use this Palmcorder for surveillance purpose or other business use.

≥If you use the Palmcorder for a long period of time, the internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may cause malfunction.

≥This Palmcorder is not intended for industrial use.

When you use your Palmcorder on a beach or similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get into the Palmcorder.

≥Sand or dust may damage the Palmcorder or Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and removing the Cassette.)

Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the Palmcorder.

≥If the Palmcorder is sprayed with such chemicals, the Palmcorder body may deform and the surface finish may peel off.

≥Do not keep a rubber or plastic product in contact with the Palmcorder for a long period of time.

When cleaning the Palmcorder, do not use any solvent, such as benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc.

≥The Palmcorder body may become damaged and the surface finish may peel off.

≥Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack.

≥Wipe the Palmcorder with a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water and afterward finish wiping with a dry cloth.

≥For storing or transporting the Palmcorder, place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the coating on the Palmcorder body from becoming worn.

After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach the Battery from the Palmcorder or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack.

≥If the Cassette is left in the Palmcorder, the tape sags and deteriorates.

≥If you leave the Battery attached to the Palmcorder for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery will not function even after it is recharged.

ªAbout the AC Adaptor

≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may continue flashing, and the Battery may not charge. After the temperature of the Battery has decreased or increased sufficiently, charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp continues to flash even after the Battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please contact your dealer.

≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time than normal.

≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception

may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or more away from radios.

≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. This is normal.

≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. (If they are left connected, a small amount of

electricity is consumed.)

≥Always, keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery clean.
