Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for cleaning
the SD Multi AV Device.
≥The camera body may be deformed and the surface
finish may peel off.
≥Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC
Main Lead from the AC Main socket.
≥Wipe the SD Multi AV Device 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 SD Multi AV Device, place
it in a bag or case lined with soft pads to prevent the
coating on the camera body from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the Card out and detach the
Battery from the SD Multi AV Device or pull out the AC
Main Lead from AC Main socket.
≥If the Battery is left on the SD Multi AV Device for a long
time, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery may
not function even after it is recharged.
ªAbout the Lens
When the Lens is Fogged Up:
Turn off the SD Multi AV Device and leave the SD Multi AV
Device in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lens
temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature,
the fog disappears naturally.
ªAbout the AC Adaptor
≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes longer time than
usual.
≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception
may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or more
away from radio.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Main Lead from the
AC Main socket. (The SD Multi AV Device consumes
approx. 0.5 W of power even when it is turned off.)
≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery
clean at all times.
≥Remove the battery if the device is left unused for a long
time.
≥The temperature of the SD Multi AV Device and the
battery may rise while charging the battery. Such rise of
temperature does not indicate a fault.
≥Do not install, remove, plug or unplug the battery or
power cord while the power is on.
ªAbout the LCD Monitor
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with
a soft dry cloth.
≥If your SD Multi AV Device is extremely cold when you
turn its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor will be
slightly darker than usual at first. However, as the
internal temperature increases, it goes back to the
normal brightness.
ªOptimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its
ability to generate power is based upon the chemical
reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity,
and, if the temperature is too high or too low, the operating
time of the Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used
in an extremely cold environment, the Battery may
operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery becomes
extremely hot, a protective function may operate, and the
Battery may become unusable for a while.
Be Sure to Detach the Battery after Use
Be sure to detach the Battery from the SD Multi AV
Device. (If it is left attached to the SD Multi AV Device, a
minute amount of current is consumed even when the SD
Multi AV Device power is off.) If the Battery is left attached
to the SD Multi AV Device for a long time, over discharge
takes place. The Battery may become unusable after it is
charged.
Disposing of an Unusable Battery
≥The Battery has a limited life.
≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may cause
an explosion.
Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery Clean
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust,
or other substances.
If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see if the
Battery body and terminals are deformed.
Attaching a deformed Battery to the SD Multi AV Device
may damage the SD Multi AV Device.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to
produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of
approximately 110,000 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.
