Notes Regarding the Battery PackNotes Regarding Video Head Cleaning
- Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
- To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not
operating it.
- If your device is in CAMCORDER mode with a tape installed, and it is left in
STBYmode without being operated for more than 5 minutes it will automatically
turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
- Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
- Abrand new battery pack will not be charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when recording for
long periods, because the LCD uses up more battery power.
- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If the picture is distorted, or only a blue
screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.
- Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.
* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries need to be dealt with as chemical waste.
* Be careful not to drop the battery when you release it
