Handling
Precautions
Ca.mcorder
o Do not carry the camcorder
by
the LCD panel.
o Do not leave the camcorder
in
places subject to high temperatures, such as a sun-
heated
car,
and high humidity.
o Do not use the camcorder near strong electric
or
magnetic fields such as above TVs,
near plasma TVs or mobile phones.
o Do not point the lens or viewfinder at strong light sources.
Do
not leave the camcorder
pointed at a bright subject.
o Do not use the camcorder
in
dusty or sandy places. Dust
or
sand getting inside the
cassette or camcorder may cause damage. Dust and sand can also damage the lens.
Close the lens cover after use.
o The camcorder
is
not waterproof. Water, mud
or
salt getting inside the cassette or
camcorder may cause damage.
o Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment.
o
Do
not disassemble the camcorder.
If
the camcorder does not function properly,
consult qualified service personnel.
o Handle the camcorder with care.
Do
not subject the camcorder to shocks or vibration
as this may cause damage.
o Avoid sudden changes
in
temperature. Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and
cold temperatures may cause condensation to form
on
its internal surfaces
(OJ
113).
Battery Pack
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
OF).
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.
o Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the
day
of
use,
or
the day before,
to
ensure a full charge.
o Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack
is
not
in
use. Contact to metallic
objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.
o Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder.
Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.
o 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
OF).
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 1 battery pack, perform these precautions at the same time for all
battery packs.
