Operating precautions
Do not allow any water to get into the camera-
recorder when using it in the rain or snow or 
at the beach.
Failure to heed this caution will cause the 
camera-recorder or a card to malfunction (and 
may result in irreparable damage).
Keep the camera-recorder away from 
equipment (such as TV sets and video game 
machines) that generate magnetic fields.
Using the camera-recorder on top of or near 
a TV set may cause distortion in the images 
and/or sound due to the electromagnetic waves 
that the set emits.
The powerful magnetic fields generated by 
speakers or large motors may damage your 
recordings or distort the images.
The electromagnetic waves emitted from a 
microcomputer will adversely affect the camera-
recorder, causing the images and/or sound to 
be distorted.
If the camera-recorder is so adversely affected 
by products that generate magnetic fields that 
it no longer operates properly, turn it off and 
remove the battery or unplug the AC adaptor 
from the power outlet. Then install the battery 
again or reconnect the AC adaptor. After this, 
turn the camera-recorder back on.
Do not use the camera-recorder near radio 
transmitters or high-voltage equipment.
Using the camera-recorder near a radio 
transmitter or high-voltage equipment may 
adversely affect the recorded images and/or 
sound.
Do not allow any sand or dust to get into the 
camera-recorder when using it at the beach 
and other similar places.
Sand and dust can damage the camera-
recorder or a card. (Be especially careful when 
inserting or removing a card.)
Battery charger and battery
If the CHARGE lamp continues to blink even 
when the battery temperature is normal, there 
may be something wrong with the battery or 
battery charger. Contact your dealer.
The battery takes longer to charge when it is 
warm.
The battery charger can interfere with radio 
reception so keep radios at least 1 meter away 
from it.
The battery charger may make some noise 
when you are using it, but this is normal.
Take precautions not to drop the camera-
recorder when moving it.
Strong impacts may damage the camera-
recorder and cause it to stop working.
Strong shock may lead to vertical misalignment 
of the images from the two lenses.
Handle the camera-recorder with care, securely 
gripping the handle or hand strap to carry it.
Do not spray the camera-recorder with insect 
sprays or other volatile substances.
These can warp the camera-recorder or cause 
the finish to come off.
Do not leave the camera-recorder in contact 
with rubber or PVC products for extended 
periods of time.
After use, remove the battery and disconnect 
the AC power supply cable.
Battery characteristics
This camera-recorder uses a rechargeable 
lithiumion battery that uses its internal 
chemical reaction to generate electrical 
energy. This reaction is easily influenced by 
the ambient temperature and humidity, and the 
battery’s effective operating time is reduced 
as the temperature rises or falls. In very low 
temperatures, the battery may last only 5 
minutes.
Protective circuitry functions if you use the 
battery where it is very hot and you will have to 
wait before you can use it again.
Remove the battery after use.
Completely remove the battery. (The battery 
continues to be used even if you have turned 
the camera-recorder off.) The battery can over 
discharge if you leave it in the camera-recorder 
and it may become impossible to recharge it.
Disposing of spent batteries
The battery will become unchargeable. Rather 
than throwing the battery into the garbage, take it 
to a store that can assist in recycling it.
