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 built-in memory 
or HDD of this unit. The data can be recovered 
using commercially available software or the 
like.
≥ We recommend that you physically format the 
built-in memory or HDD before disposing of or 
giving away this unit.
To physically format the built-in memory, 
connect the unit via the AC adaptor, select 
[FORMAT Built-in Memory] 
# [YES] from the 
menu, and then press and hold the delete 
button on the screen below for about 3 
seconds. When the built-in memory data 
deletion screen appears, select [YES], and 
then follow the on-screen instructions.
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 built-in 
memory or 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 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 attached, 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 batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 
times the period you are planning to record for. 
Cold places such as a ski resort can shorten 
recording time.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to 
see if the terminals are damaged.
≥ Attaching a battery with damaged terminals 
can damage the unit or AC adaptor.
