3. Do not change the camcorder. Any changes to the camcorder
invalidate the warranty.
Taking care of your camcorder
1. Always keep the camcorder in a leather case or pouch for
better protection against splashes, dust, and collision.
9
2. The only way of replacing the battery and the memory card is
to open the Battery / Memory cover.
3. Dispose of unwanted batteries and camcorders as permitted
by the laws in your countries.
4. Water may cause a fire or electric shock. Therefore, store
your camcorder in a dry place.
5. If your camcorder becomes wet, wipe it with a dry cloth as
soon as possible.
6. Salt or seawater may cause severe camcorder damage.
7. Do not drop, knock, or shake the camcorder. A rude behavior
of using the camcorder may damage the internal electronic
circuit board or deform the lens shape.
8. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the camcorder.
9. Finger grease may be left on the camcorder lens and will
result in unclear images or videos. To avoid this problem, be
10
sure to clean the camcorder lens before taking pictures or
recording videos. You should also clean the camcorder lens
on a regular basis.
10. If the lens is dirty, use a lens brush or soft cloth to clean the
lens.
11. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
12. If a foreign substance or water gets in your camcorder, please
turn the power off immediately and disconnect the batteries.
Next, remove the foreign substance or water and send it to
the maintenance center.
13. Whenever there is data in the external memory card, you
should make a backup copy to a computer or disc. So, you
can have a backup solution if data loss occurs.
14. All original accessories are designed only for use with this
camcorder model you purchased. Do not use these
accessories with other camcorder models or camcorders of
other brands to avoid unpredictable danger or damage.
11
15. Before initial use of a memory card, always use the
camcorder to format the card first.
16. Remember to slide the write-protect tab (if available) to the
unlock position. Otherwise, all data (if any) on the memory
card is protected and the card cannot be edited or formatted.
Operating environment
1. Do not use or store your camcorder in the environments listed
below:
z Direct sunlight
z Dusty places
z Next to an air conditioner, electric heater or other heat
sources
z In a closed car that is in direct sunlight
z Unstable locations
2. Do not use your camcorder outdoors when it is raining or
snowing.
12
3. Do not use your camcorder in or near water.
4. The camcorder operating temperature is between 0 and 40
degrees Celsius. It is normal for the operating time to be
shortened when the temperature is low.
5. The capacity of your camcorder batteries will reduce each
time it is charged/emptied.
6. Storage at too high or low temperatures will also result in a
gradual capacity loss. As a result, the operating time of your
camcorder may be considerably reduced.
7. It is normal for the camcorder to become warm during
operation, because the camcorder casing can conduct heat.
