Do’s and Don’ts 
Do’s and Don’ts
Camcorder
 
Do not subject the camcorder to 
vibrations or strong impacts while the 
DISC access indicator is on or flashing. 
The data may not be correctly recorded 
on the disc, and the recording may be 
permanently lost.
 
Do not touch the pick up lens.
 
Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD 
panel or the disc cover. Be careful when 
closing the LCD panel.
 
Do not leave the camcorder in places 
subject to high temperatures (like the 
inside of a car under direct sunlight), or 
high humidity.
 
Do not use the camcorder near strong 
electric or magnetic fields such as above 
TVs, near plasma TVs or mobile phones.
 
Do not point the lens or viewfinder at 
strong light sources. Do not leave the 
camcorder pointed at a bright subject.
 
Do not use or store the camcorder in 
dusty or sandy places. The camcorder is 
not waterproof – avoid also water, mud or 
salt. If any of the above should get into 
the camcorder it may damage the 
camcorder and/or the lens. Be sure to 
close the disc compartment cover after 
use.
 
Be careful of heat generated by lighting 
equipment.
 
Do not disassemble the camcorder. If 
the camcorder does not function properly, 
consult qualified service personnel.
 
Handle the camcorder with care. Do not 
subject the camcorder to shocks or 
vibration as this may cause damage.
Battery Pack
 
Charged battery packs continue to 
discharge naturally. Therefore, charge 
them on the day of use, or the day before, 
to ensure a full charge.
 
Contact of the battery terminals with 
metallic objects may cause a short circuit 
and damage the battery pack.
 
Dirty terminals may cause a poor 
contact between the battery pack and the 
camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft 
cloth.
 
Since storing a charged battery pack for 
a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its 
lifecycle or affect performance, we 
recommend to discharge the battery pack 
fully and to store it in a dry place at 
temperatures no higher than 30 °C 
(86 °F). If you do not use the battery pack 
for long periods, charge and discharge it 
fully at least once a year. If you have 
more than one battery pack, perform 
these precautions at the same time for all 
battery packs.
 
Although the battery pack’s operating 
temperature range is from 0 °C to 40 °C 
(32 °F to 104 °F), the optimal range is 
from 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F). At 
cold temperatures, performance will 
temporarily decline. Warm it in your 
pocket before use.
Handling Precautions
DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might 
explode).
• Do not expose the battery pack to 
temperature higher than 60 °C (140 °F). 
Do not leave it near a heater or inside a 
car in hot weather.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.
• Do not drop or knock it.
• Do not get it wet.
