Safety Warning and Notice

Before operating the camcorder, please make sure that you read and fully understand the content in this section. If you ignore and violate all safety warning notices indicated in this section, the camcorder warranty may be void. Meanwhile, not only the camcorder but also you and all other people and things around you may be severely damaged, injured, or even placed in danger of death.

For your safety

1. Do not attempt to charge any other battery with this

camcorder.

2. Operate the power supply only on even surfaces, without any

cover. Air circulation around the product must be always given. The maximum ambient temperature is 40 ºC.

3. Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

4. Keep the camcorder and its accessories out of the reach of

babies, toddlers, and children. In particular, small parts such as memory card and battery could be easily dismantled and swallowed by them.

5. Use only the original accessories to avoid possible risks to

health and property, and thus meet all related legal regulations.

6. Do not dismantle the camcorder under any circumstances.

7. When using the flash, do not go too close to human eyes

(particularly for babies, toddlers, and children) or animal eyes. Otherwise, when the flash fires, the light may cause damage to human eyes or irritate animals.

8. Batteries could explode, for instance. All batteries can cause

property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such

Page 12

as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any batteries, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Do not dispose of batteries in fire as they may explode.

9. To prevent electric shock, do not attempt to disassemble or

repair your camcorder by yourself.

10. Some camcorder models accept non-rechargeable batteries.

When using these batteries, do not charge them. Otherwise, dangers such as explosion and fire may occur.

Warranty

1. Warranty is void if damage or system failure occurred due to

outside factors such as collision, fire, flood, dirt, sewage, earthquake, and other force majeure events as well as incorrect usage of electricity or use of non-original accessories.

2. It is the sole responsibility of the user if problems (such as

data loss and system failure) occurred due to non-factory installed software, parts, and/or non-original accessories.

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.

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.

Page 13

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 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.

Page 14

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:

 Direct sunlight  Dusty places  Next to an air conditioner, electric heater or other heat

sources

 In a closed car that is in direct sunlight  Unstable locations

2. Do not use your camcorder outdoors when it is raining or

snowing.

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.
