On handling the casing

If the casing is soiled, clean the camcorder body with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water, and then wipe the casing with a dry soft cloth.

Avoid the following to avoid damage to the finish:

Using chemicals such as thinner, benzine, alcohol, chemical cloths, repellent, insecticide and sunscreen.

Handling the camcorder with above substances on your hands.

Leaving the casing in contact with rubber or vinyl objects for a long period of time.

On the pickup lens

Do not touch the lens inside the disc cover. Keep the disc cover closed except when inserting and removing the disc, to keep dust out.

When your camcorder does not work because the pickup lens is dirty, clean it with a blower (not supplied). Do not touch the pickup lens directly during cleaning because this may cause the camcorder to malfunction.

About care and storage of the lens

Wipe the surface of the lens clean with a soft cloth in the following instances:

When there are fingerprints on the lens surface.

In hot or humid locations

When the lens is exposed to salty air such as at the seaside.

Store in a well-ventilated location subject to little dirt or dust.

To prevent mold, periodically clean the lens as described above. It is recommended that you operate your camcorder about once a month to keep it in optimum state for a long time.

On charging the pre-installed rechargeable battery

Your camcorder has a pre-installed rechargeable battery to retain the date, time, and other settings even when the POWER switch is set to OFF (CHG). The pre- installed rechargeable battery is always charged while your camcorder is connected to the wall socket via the AC Adaptor or while the battery pack is attached. The rechargeable battery will be fully discharged in about 4 months if you do not use your camcorder at all. Use your camcorder after charging the pre-installed rechargeable battery.

However, even if the pre-installed rechargeable battery is not charged, the camcorder operation will not be affected as long as you are not recording the date.
