damage to the

camcorder and/or start a fire when the

camcorder is used.

Keep the camcorder away from children, and

make sure they do not put their hand in the

cassette compartment.

Do not use the camcorder outside during a

storm or when there is lightning.

not use commercially available

wet-type video head-cleaning cassettes.

They may damage the video heads in your unit.

For the most suitable head-cleaning cassettes,

please consult the dealer where the unit was

purchased.

w Do not wrap the camcorder in a cloth, as the

temperature inside will rise and damage the unit.

If you notice anything unusual (smoke, strange

noise or odour, etc.), stop using the unit and switch

it off immediately. Remove the battery pack or

disconnect the DC connecting cord, then consult

the dealer where the unit was purchased, or contact

an authorized service centre.

English

Precautions concerning magnetic fields

Do not leave/use the camcorder near magnets, or

magnetic fields as they may damage the recordings

on the tape.

Precautions during recording or playback

Do not let direct sunlight hit the lens, as that

may cause damage to the unit.

Do not use the camcorder near transmitting

antennas, as this might cause the unit to

malfunction.

When using the camcorder at the beach, do not

let it get wet.

Do not allow sand or dirt to enter the unit.

Do not direct the viewfinder toward the sun, or

key parts in the cavity may burn.

Do not store the unit in the following locations:

where it will be subject to direct sunlight (e.g. on

a car dashboard, etc.),

near bright light sources, or where the humidity

level is high,

in a closed car on warm or hot days, or close to

a heat source (e.g. heater, stove, etc.),

in the presence of excessive dirt or dust,

where it will be subject to strong vibrations, or

strong magnetic fields.

English

Condensation

Condensation is the moisture that forms on the

outside of a glass when you fill it with cold water.

The first sign of condensation is fogging of the

camcorder lens and viewfinder.

To stop the formation of condensation, wrap the

camcorder in a cloth until the fogging on the lens

and in the viewfinder disappears.

Do not use the camcorder before condensation has

disappeared as that may cause damage to the video

heads.

Conditions

where condensation might appear

If the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold

place to a warm, humid one, or vice versa.

If a heater has been turned on to quickly heat

the room, or if the level of humidity is high.

If taken from an air conditioned room, or car to

a hot, humid place.

Condensation warning indicator

If condensation is detected inside the camcorder,

the condensation warning indicator will flash in the

Viewfinder. (See page 5.)

As condensation may also appear inside the

cassette casing, the cassette warning indicator

might also flash when the cassette is loaded.

Do not load a cassette in the camcorder if you

suspect that condensation has formed inside the

cassette.

If condensation has formed

Eject the cassette and wait for 1 - 2 hours for the

condensation to dry.

The time required to completely eliminate

condensation may vary.
