About the Camcorder
≥When the Camcorder is used for a long time, 
the Camcorder body becomes warm, but this is 
not a malfunction.
Keep the Digital Video Camcorder as far away 
as possible from electromagnetic equipment 
(such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games 
etc.).
≥If you use the Digital Video Camcorder on top of 
or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the 
Digital Video Camcorder may be disrupted by 
electromagnetic wave radiation.
≥Do not use the Digital Video Camcorder near 
cell phones because doing so may result in 
noise adversely affecting the pictures and 
sound.
≥Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures 
may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields 
created by speakers or large motors.
≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by 
microprocessors may adversely affect the 
Digital Video Camcorder, disturbing the pictures 
and sound.
≥If the Digital Video Camcorder is adversely 
affected by electromagnetic equipment and 
stops functioning properly, turn the Digital Video 
Camcorder off and remove the battery or 
disconnect AC adaptor. Then reinsert the 
battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the 
Digital Video Camcorder on.
Do not use the Digital Video Camcorder near 
radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
≥If you record near radio transmitters or 
high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and 
sound may be adversely affected.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile 
chemicals onto the Camcorder.
≥If the Camcorder is sprayed with such 
chemicals, the Camcorder body may become 
deformed and the surface finish may peel off.
≥Do not keep rubber or plastic products in 
contact with the Camcorder for a long time.
When you use your Camcorder in a sandy or 
dusty place such as on a beach, do not let 
sand or fine dust get into the body and 
terminals of the Camcorder. Also, protect the 
Camcorder from getting wet.
≥Sand or dust may damage the Camcorder or 
cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting 
and removing a cassette.) 
≥If sea water splashes onto the Camcorder, wet 
a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use 
it to wipe the Camcorder body carefully. Then, 
wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
While carrying the Camcorder, do not drop or 
bump it.
≥A strong impact on the Camcorder may break its 
housing, causing it to malfunction.
Do not use benzine, paint thinner or alcohol 
for cleaning the Camcorder.
≥Before cleaning, detach the battery or pull out 
the AC Cable from the AC Jack.
≥The Camcorder body may be discolored and the 
surface finish may peel off.
≥Wipe the Camcorder with a soft dry cloth to 
remove dust and fingerprints. To remove 
stubborn stains, wring well a cloth that is soaked 
in a neutral detergent diluted with water and 
wipe the Camcorder with it. Afterwards, wipe it 
with a dry cloth.
≥When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the 
instructions.
Do not use this Camcorder for surveillance 
purposes or other business use.
≥If you use the Camcorder for a long time, the 
internal temperature increases and, 
consequently, this may cause malfunction.
≥This Camcorder is not intended for business 
use.
When you are not going to use Camcorder for 
an extended time
≥When storing the unit in a cupboard or a

About the battery
The battery used in the Camcorder is a 
rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is 
susceptible to temperature and humidity, and the 
effect of temperature increases with increasing or 
decreasing temperature. In the low temperature 
range, the fully charged indication may not 
appear, or the low battery indication may appear 
about 5 minutes after the start of use. At high 
temperature, moreover, the protection function 
may work, disabling use of the Camcorder.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
≥If the battery is left attached to the Camcorder, a 
minute amount of current is consumed even 
when the Camcorder power is [OFF]. If the 
battery is left attached to the Camcorder for a 
long time, over-discharge takes place. The 
battery may become unusable after it is 
charged.
≥The battery should be stored in a cool place free 
from humidity, with as constant temperature as 
possible. (Recommended temperature: 15
oC to 
25
oC (59 oF to 77 oF), Recommended humidity: 
40% to 60%)
