Cautions:

BEFORE REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK, ALWAYS STOP THE TAPE AND TURN THE POWER OFF. If you remove the battery pack during recording or playback, the tape will remain wound around the video head drum, potentially causing damage to the tape.

Make sure the battery compartment door is closed firmly during operation. If it is not, the battery pack may fall out or VIEWCAM operation may fail because of the poor contact pressure.

Remove the battery pack from the VIEWCAM if the VIEWCAM will not be used for a long period of time.

When removing the battery pack, do not tilt the VIEWCAM so that the battery compart- ment faces down. The battery pack may fall out.

Do not expose the battery compartment door to strong force, as it may come off.

Use only SHARP model BT-H22 or BT-H32 battery packs with this VIEWCAM. Use of other batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion.
