ª Tips for using your Camera/Recorder

When you use your Camera/Recorder on a rainy or 
snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water 
enters the Camera/Recorder.
≥Water may cause the Camera/Recorder or Cassette to 

malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)

≥If sea water splashes onto the Camera/Recorder, wet a 

soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the 
Camera/Recorder body carefully. Then, wipe it again 
thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

Keep the Camera/Recorder away from magnetically 
charged equipment (such as a Microwave oven, TV, 
game equipment, etc.)
≥If you use the Camera/Recorder near a TV, images or 

sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave 
radiation.

≥Strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors 

may damage previous recording on the tape, or images 
may be distorted.

≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a 

microprocessor may adversely affect the Camera/
Recorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.

≥If the Camera/Recorder is affected by magnetically 

charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off 
the Camera/Recorder power and detach the Battery or AC 
Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again. 
Thereafter, turn on the Camera/Recorder power.

Do not use your Camera/Recorder near radio 
transmitters or high-voltage lines.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-

voltage lines, recorded images or sounds may be 
adversely affected.

Do not use this Camera/Recorder for surveillance 
purpose or other business use.
≥If you use the Camera/Recorder for a long time, the 

internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may 
cause malfunction.

≥This Camera/Recorder is not intended for industrial use.

When you use your Camera/Recorder on a beach or 
similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get into the 
Camera/Recorder.
≥Sand or dust may damage the Camera/Recorder or 

Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and 
ejecting the Cassette.)

Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the 
Camera/Recorder.
≥If the Camera/Recorder is sprayed with such chemicals, 

the Camera/Recorder body may deform and the surface 
finish may peel off.

≥Do not keep rubber or plastic product in contact with the 

Camera/Recorder for a long period of time.

When cleaning the Camera/Recorder, do not use any 
solvent, such as benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc.
≥The Camera/Recorder body may become damaged and 

the surface finish may peel off.

≥Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC 

Cable from the AC Jack.

≥Wipe the Camera/Recorder with a soft, dry cloth. To 

remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in 
a detergent diluted with water and afterward finish wiping 
with a dry cloth.

≥For storing or transporting the Camera/Recorder, place it in 

a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the 
coating on the Camera/Recorder body from being worn.

After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach 
the Battery from the Camera/Recorder or pull out the AC 
Cable from AC Jack.
≥If the Cassette is left in the Camera/Recorder, the tape 

sags and deteriorates.

≥If you leave the Battery attached to the Camera/Recorder 

for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the 
Battery will not function even after it is recharged.

ª About the AC Adaptor

≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or 

extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may continue flashing, 
and the Battery may not charge. After the temperature of 
the Battery has decreased or increased sufficiently, 
charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp 
continues to flash even after the Battery temperature has 
decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or AC 
Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please contact your 
dealer.

≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time than 

normal.

≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception 

may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or more 
away from radio.

≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring 

sounds. However, this is normal.

≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from the AC 

Jack. (If they are left connected, a samll amount of 
electricity is consumed.)

≥Always, keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery  

clean.
