If you use the SD Video Camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and 
sound on the SD Video Camera may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave 
radiation.
Do not use the SD Video Camera 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 SD Video Camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
If the SD Video Camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment 
and stops functioning properly, turn the SD Video Camera off and remove 
the battery or disconnect AC adaptor.
Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the SD Video 
Camera on.

If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded 
pictures and sound may be adversely affected.

Use the cord or cable supplied with the unit or other devices. Do not extend 
the cords and the cables.
Do not expose the unit to insecticide or volatile substances, or allow prolonged 
contact with rubber or vinyl products. (This can cause deformation and 
peeling.)
Do not drop or impact the unit.

Strong impacts may damage the outer casing, causing it to malfunction.

Do not use the unit for business purposes such as surveillance. 

This unit is not of professional grade, and can build up heat internally over 
extended use, resulting in problems.

Before long periods of disuse:

Wipe away moisture and dirt with a soft dry cloth, dry naturally and store with 
desiccant (silica gel).

The memory capacity indicated on the SD card label is the maximum capacity 
for copyright protection and management, which is ordinarily used by the unit, 
computers, etc.
MiniSD cards require a purpose-specific adaptor. Do not insert just the miniSD 
card or just the adaptor. Also, do not insert and remove a miniSD card while 
keeping the adaptor inserted into the unit. (This can cause damage.)

The rechargeable lithium ion battery used with this unit is readily affected by 
temperature and humidity. In cold places, the full battery indication may not 
appear and a low battery warning may appear approx. 5 minutes after starting 
use. In high temperatures, a protective function may be triggered, preventing 
use.
After use, always remove and store the battery.

If left inside the unit, the battery may over-discharge because of small 
amounts of current flow, ultimately damaging the battery. 
Place the battery in a plastic bag so as to prevent metal from contacting 
terminals and store in a cool (15 - 25 ˚C (59 - 77 ˚F)) dry (40 - 60 % RH) 
place subject to minimal temperature changes. 
Storing the battery in extreme cold or high heat may shorten the battery’s 
service-life. Moreover, places that are hot, humid or oily can rust terminals 
and cause damage to the battery.
During long-term storage, charge the battery once a year, then use it until 
depleted and store it again. 
Clean battery terminals of adhering dust, etc.

Prepare a spare battery when going out.

Prepare 3 - 4x more battery power than you plan to use. In cold places such 
as ski resorts, recording time becomes shorter.
Do not forget the AC adaptor when traveling so that you can recharge 
batteries.

Do not use batteries if damaged or deformed (especially terminals) from 
dropping, etc. 

This can cause damage to the unit.

Do not throw batteries into fire.

The battery may burst if heated or thrown into fire.

If the battery does not last long immediately after charging, it has reached the 
end of its service-life. Purchase a new battery.
