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 CHARGE 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.

If the charging lamp is still flashing, something may be wrong with the battery or AC adaptor. Contact consumer support (l 119, 120).

≥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 dry soft cloth.

≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.

≥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 123,000 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.

About condensation

If condensation forms on the unit, the lens will cloud up, the HDD may be damaged and the unit

may not work properly. Make every effort to ensure that condensation does not form. If it does form, take the actions described below.

Causes of condensation

Condensation takes place when the ambient temperature or humidity is changed as follows.

≥When this unit is brought inside from the cold (e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room.

≥When this unit is moved from an air-conditioned car to outside.

≥When a cold room has been warmed up quickly.

≥When cool wind from an air conditioner is directly blown onto this unit.

≥After summer afternoon showers of rain.

≥When this unit is in a very humid place where the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a heated swimming pool)

Helpful hint

If, for example, you have used this unit for recording on a ski slope and are taking it into a heated room, place the unit inside a plastic bag, remove as much of the air from inside the bag as possible, then seal the bag. Leave the unit for about an hour in the room so the temperature of the unit is close to the ambient temperature of the room, then use it.
