If excessive moisture condenses in the unit,
[DEW DETECTED] Indication will flash, and the Palmcorder

When the Lens Is Fogged:
Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF] and leave the

temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature, the
fog disappears naturally.

ª Digital Video Head Cleaner
If the heads (the parts that make contact with tape) are dirty,
mosaic-like noise patterns may appear on the playback
image, or the screen as a whole becomes black. If the heads
are extremely dirty, recording performance deteriorates, and,
in the worst case, the Palmcorder cannot record at all.

Periodic Check-up
To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend
replacement of worn parts, such as heads, etc., after
approximately 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends
on operating conditions, such as temperature, humidity,
dust, etc.)

ª Optimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to
generate power is based upon the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is affected by the
surrounding temperature and humidity, and, if the
temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the
Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in an
extremely cold environment, the Battery may operate only
for about 5 minutes. If the Battery becomes extremely hot, a
protective function may operate, and the Battery may even
become unusable for awhile.

Be Sure to Detach the Battery After Use
Be sure to detach the Battery from the Palmcorder. (If it is
left attached to the Palmcorder, a minute amount of current
is consumed even when the Palmcorder power is off.) If the
Battery is left attached to the Palmcorder for a long time,
over discharge takes place. The Battery may become
unusable even after it is charged.

Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery Clean
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust, or
other substances.
If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see if the
Battery body and terminals are damaged.
