IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

MOISTURE

Moisture may occur if the video camera/recorder is moved f r om a cold area to a warm humid area. A flashing "DEW" indication in the viewfinder indicates that moisture has condensed on the recorder mechanism, which could result in tape damage. Since condensation builds up gradually, the indication does not appear immediately when condensation start s. When the temperature or humidity of t he room changes abruptly, turn the power on and check that the "DEW" indication does not appear, then wait for about an hour for safety before using the camera/recorder. When the "DEW" indication in the viewfinder is flashing the unit will not operate. When this happens, slide the "EJECT" switch, remove the tape, and wait for the moisture to dry... the "DEW" indication in the viewfinder will stop flashing.

PRECAUTIONS

Any problems that occur as a result of any of t he following conditions will not be covered by our warranty.  Be careful that no water, dust or sand enter s t he cam era/recorder.  When you are not using t he cam er a/recorder, switch off the power and att ach t he lens cap.  When you shoot at a scene which contains an extremely bright object such as the sun or a light source, a bright vertical bar may appear in the picture. Your camera/r ecor der is functioning properly, but the solid-state pickup device (C.C. D. ) usually causes this as an inher ent characteristic. Try to avoid shooting an excessively bright object directly.  Be sure not to leave it in a place where the temperature exceeds 120ºF, or t he pickup device may be damaged. Dangerous includes:

• Inside a car with the windows closed and in direct sunshine.

• Near heating appliances.  Do not leave the viewfinder lens facing sunlight for a prolonged period, or the phosphorescent surface of the cathode ray tube m ay be damag ed.
