Safety Precautions

7

When the equipment is installed in a
cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it
has sufficient space on all sides to allow
for ventilation (10 cm (3-15/16") or more
on both sides, on top and at the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes.
(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a
newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not
be able to get out.)
No naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, should be placed on the
apparatus.
When discarding batteries,
environmental problems must be
considered and the local rules or laws
governing the disposal of these batteries
must be followed strictly.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.

Do not point the lens directly into the
sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well
as lead to the malfunctioning of internal
circuitry. There is also a risk of fire or
electric shock.

CAUTION!

The following notes concern possible
physical damage to this unit and to the
user.
Carrying or holding this unit by the LCD
monitor can result in dropping the unit,
or in a malfunction.
Do not use a tripod on unsteady or
unlevel surfaces. It could tip over,
causing serious damage to the unit.

CAUTION!

Connecting cables (Audio/Video, etc.) to
this unit and leaving it on top of the TV is
not recommended, as tripping on the
cables will cause the unit to fall, resulting
in damage.

Si le matériel est installé dans un coffret
ou sur une étagère, s’assurer qu’il y a un
espace suffisant sur tous les côtés pour
permettre la ventilation (10 cm (3-15/16")
ou plus sur les deux côtés, au dessus et
à l’arrière).
Ne pas boucher les orifices de
ventilation.
(Si les orifices de ventilation sont
bouchés par un journal, un tissu, etc., la
chaleur peut ne pas s’éliminer.)
Aucune source à flamme nue, telle que
des bougies allumées, ne doit être
placée sur l’appareil.
En jetant des batteries aux ordures, les
problèmes d’environnement doivent être
pris en considération et les
réglementations locales ou la législation
concernant le rebut de ces batteries
doivent être strictement respectées.

L’appareil ne doit pas être exposé à de
l’eau ou à des éclaboussures et les
objets remplis de liquide, tels que des
vases, ne doivent pas être placés sur
l’appareil.

Ne dirigez pas l’objectif directement vers
le soleil. Vous pourriez vous abîmer la
vue et l’appareil pourrait être
endommagé. Il y a aussi risque
d’incendie ou d’électrocution.

Attention!

Les remarques suivantes sont destinées
à protéger l’utilisateur et le caméscope
contre des dommages éventuels.
Ne pas transporter ou saisir le
caméscope par l’écran LCD, car il
pourrait tomber ou s’endommager.
Ne pas utiliser de trépied
photographique sur des surfaces
irrégulières et inclinées. Il pourrait
tomber et le caméscope pourrait être
sérieusement endommagé.

Attention!

Avec des câbles (Audio/Vidéo, etc.)
raccordés, il est recommandé de ne pas
laisser le caméscope sur le dessus du
téléviseur, car tirer sur les câbles
pourrait faire tomber le caméscope,
causant des dommages.

Larger Terminal coded E or Green.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:

If these colours do not correspond with
the terminal identifications of your plug,
connect as follows:
Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral)
or coloured black.
Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or
coloured Red.
If in doubt — consult a competent
electrician.

CAUTIONS:

To prevent shock, do not open the cabinet.
No user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
