Cautions:

• BEFORE REMOVING THE DC CABLE,

ALWAYS STOP RECORDING OR PLAYBACK AND TURN THE POWER OFF. Removing the DC cable while shooting or during playback may damage the tape by causing it to wrap around the video head drum or may destroy the SmartMedia card, rendering it unreadble and unwritable.

• Disconnect the camcorder from the AC adapter if you will not use the camcorder for a long period of time.
