When you are not going to use the unit for an 
extended time
≥ When storing the unit in a cupboard or cabinet, 
it is recommended that you place a desiccant 
(silica gel) in with it.
When disposing of or giving away this unit, 
note that:
≥ Formatting and deletion simply change the file 
management information and cannot be used 
to completely erase the data in HDD of this 
unit. The data can be recovered using 
commercially available software or the like.
≥ We recommend that you physically format the 
HDD before disposing of or giving away this 
unit. To physically format the HDD, connect the 
unit via the AC adaptor, select [FORMAT HDD] 
# [YES] from the menu, and then press and 
hold the delete button on the screen below for 
about 3 seconds. When the HDD data deletion 
screen appears, select [YES], and then follow 
the on-screen instructions.
≥ Please look after the data in your HDD 
carefully. Panasonic will not be held 
responsible in the unlikely case that private 
data is divulged.
The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable 
lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity 
and temperature and the effect increases the 
more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas, 
the full charge indication may not appear or the 
low battery indication may appear for about 
5 minutes after starting use. At high 
temperatures, the protection function may be 
triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
≥ If the battery is left inserted, a minute amount 
of current continues to flow even if the unit’s 
power is off. Keeping the unit in this state may 
result in over discharge of the battery. This 
may result in you not being able to use the 
battery even after it is charged.
≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag 
so metal does not come into contact with the 
terminals.
≥ The battery should be stored in a cool place 
free from humidity, with as constant 
temperature as possible. (Recommended 
temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F), 
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)
≥ Extremely high temperatures or low 
temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.
≥ If the battery is kept in high-temperature, high-
humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals 
may rust and cause malfunctions.
≥ To store the battery for a long period of time, 
we recommend you charge it once every year 
and store it again after you have completely 
used up the charged capacity.
≥ Dust and other matter attached to the battery 
terminals should be removed.
Prepare spare batteries when going out for 
recording.
≥ Prepare enough batteries to last 3 to 4 times 
the period you are planning to record.
≥ Cold weather, such as when skiing, can 
shorten the recording period.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to 
see if the terminals are damaged.
≥ Inserting a battery with damaged terminals can 
damage the unit or AC adaptor.
Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may 
result in an explosion.
If the operating time is very short even after 
the battery has been recharged, the battery 
has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.
