ªNotes on the SD Memory Card Write-

Protect Switch

The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch. Sliding the switch to [LOCK] prevents the recording of data to the card as well as the deletion of data from the card. Sliding back the switch permits such operations.

ªCautions for Storage

Before storing the SD Multi AV Device, take the Card out and detach the Battery.

Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively stable temperature.

(Recommended Temperature:59 to 77oF (15 to 25oC), Recommended Humidity:40 to 60%)

SD Multi AV Device

Do not leave the SD Multi AV Device in places that expose it to high temperature.

Battery

Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the Battery.

If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

Do not allow the Battery terminals to come in contact with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.) This can result in a short circuit or heat generation and, if you touch the Battery in this condition, you may be badly burned.

Store the Battery in a completely discharged state. To store the Battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you completely use up the charged capacity.

Card

When the Card is being read, do not remove the Card, turn off the power, or subject it to vibration or impact.

Do not leave the Card in places where there is high temperature or direct sunlight, or where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated.

Do not bend or drop the Card. The Card or the recorded content may be damaged.

After use, be sure to remove the Card from the SD Multi AV Device.

After usage, store the supplied SD Memory Card in the enclosed bag.

Do not touch the terminals on the back of the Card with your fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter it.

ªState of Power Lamp while charging

The Power Lamp flashes while charging. (Flashes approx. every two seconds when charging is normal.)

When the Power Lamps flashes more quickly or slowly (or tuns off), some abnormality may have occurred.

The flashing speed suggests the following states.

Flashing approx. every 0.5 seconds:

The SD Multi AV Device, battery or AC adaptor may be defective. Contact your nearest Panasonic dealer.

Flashing approx. every six seconds:

The ambient temperature or that of the battery itself is too high or too low. Charging proceeds, but will take a longer time.

Turning off:

Charging is completed.

If the Power Lamp turns off when charging is not completed, the following reasons are probable.

The ambient temperature or that of the battery itself is too high or too low. Wait until the proper temperature is reached and charge the Battery again.

The AC Adaptor is probably defective. Contact your nearest Panasonic dealer.
