Care and Maintenance

Keep dust and grit from entering the camcorder’s cassette door. Dust and grit are abrasive and will cause excessive wear to both the camcorder’s recording and playback heads and cassettes.

Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning your camcorder. They may damage the camcorder.

Before handling your camcorder, make sure your hands and face are free from any chemical products such as suntan lotion, as it may damage the finish.

Do not touch the lens with your fingers! The oil from your skin may damage the lens. To clean the lens, always use lens- cleaning tissues and a commercially prepared cleaning solution designed for use on camera lens.

Always replace the lens cap on the lens when the camcorder is not in use.

The camcorder can be damaged by improper storage or handling. Do not subject the camcorder to swinging, shaking, or dropping.

Do not store the camcorder in temperatures below -22ºF (-30ºC) or above 149ºF (65ºC).

When the camcorder is not in use, always remove the cassette and AC adapter/ charger or battery.

Retain the original carton for future storage or shipping purposes.

Things to Avoid

Do not aim your camcorder at the sun or other bright objects.

Do not operate or leave your camcorder in extremely humid environments.

Do not use an adapter/charger or batteries other than the ones specified for this camcorder. Use of the wrong accessories may cause damage to the camcorder.

Do not operate the camcorder for extended periods in temperatures below 40ºF (4ºC) or above 95ºF (35ºC).

Do not expose the camcorder or adapter/charger to rain or moisture. If either component becomes wet, turn off the power and take the unit to an Authorized GE Camcorder Servicenter.

Avoid operating your camcorder immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. Give the camcorder l-l/2 to 2 hours to reach a stable temperature before inserting a cassette. When the camcorder is moved from a cold location to a warm location, moisture may cause the tape to stick to the headwheel and damage the headwheel or tape.

Do not leave your camcorder in direct sunlight. Doing so could permanently damage the camcorder’s internal parts.

Do not attempt to disassemble your camcorder. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
