Panasonic AG-HVX200AP User Manual

Do not allow any water to get into the camera-
recorder when using it in the rain or snow or at 
the beach.
•  Failure to heed this caution will cause the 

camera-recorder, P2 card or cassette to 
malfunction (and may result in irreparable 
damage).

Keep the camera-recorder away from 
equipment (such as TV sets and video game 
machines) that generate magnetic fields.
•  Using the camera-recorder on top of or near a 

TV set may cause distortion in the images and/or 
sound due to the electromagnetic waves that the 
set emits.

•  The powerful magnetic fields generated by 

speakers or large motors may damage your 
recordings or distort the images.

• The electromagnetic waves emitted from a 

microcomputer will adversely affect the camera-
recorder, causing the images and/or sound to be 
distorted.

•  If the camera-recorder is so adversely affected by 

products that generate magnetic fields that it no 
longer operates properly, turn it off and remove 
the battery or unplug the AC adapter from the 
power outlet. Then install the battery again or 
reconnect the AC adapter. After this, turn the 
camera-recorder back on.

Do not use the camera-recorder near radio 
transmitters or high-voltage equipment.
•  Using the camera-recorder near a radio 

transmitter or high-voltage equipment may 
adversely affect the recorded images and/or 
sound.

Do not allow any sand or dust to get into the 
camera-recorder when using it at the beach 
and other similar places.
•  Sand and dust can damage the camera-recorder, 

P2 card and cassette. (Be especially careful 
when inserting or removing the P2 card or 
cassettes.)

AC adapter and battery
•  If the battery is extremely hot or cold, the 

CHARGE lamp will blink several times before 
charging starts.

•  If the CHARGE lamp continues to blink even 

when the battery temperature is normal, there 
may be something wrong with the battery or AC 
adapter. Contact your dealer.

•  The battery takes longer to charge when it is 

warm.

•  The AC adapter can interfere with radio reception 

so keep radios at least 1 meter away from it.

•  The AC adapter may make some noise when you 

are using it, but this is normal.

Take precautions not to drop the camera when 
moving it.
•  Strong impacts may damage the camera and 

cause it to stop working.

• Handle the camera with care, using the hand 

strap or shoulder strap to carry it.

Do not spray the camera with insect sprays or 
other volatile substances.
•  These can warp the camera or cause the finish to 

come off.

•  Do not leave the camera-recorder in contact with 

rubber or PVC products for extended periods of 
time.

After use, remove the cassette and battery and 
disconnect the AC power supply cord.
•  The tape can become slack or damaged if you 

leave it in the camera.
