Check points

≥Charge the battery using the AC adaptor. (l 14)

≥The battery protection circuit may have operated. Attach the battery to the AC adaptor for 5 to 10 seconds. If the unit still cannot be used, the battery is faulty.

≥Make sure the LCD monitor is opened.

≥The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold places, the battery using time becomes shorter.

≥The battery has a limited life. If the operating time is still too short even after the battery is fully charged, the battery has worn out and needs to be replaced.

≥If you do not use the unit for approximately 5 minutes, the power is automatically turned off to conserve battery life. To resume recording, turn the power back on.

The power will not turn off automatically when the power save function (l 25) is set to [OFF].

≥The unit cannot be operated unless you open the LCD monitor.

≥Remove the SD card then press the RESET button.

(l 103) If normal conditions are not restored yet, remove the battery or AC adaptor, wait about 1 minute and then reconnect the battery or AC adaptor. Then about 1 minute later, turn on the power again. (Conducting the above operation when the access lamp is on may destroy the data on the HDD or the SD card.)

≥This is the sound of the lens moving and is not a malfunction.

≥If you set [DEMO MODE] to [ON] without inserting an SD card in video recording mode or picture recording mode, the unit is automatically set to the demonstration mode for introducing its functions. Normally this should be set to [OFF]. (l 26)
