Introduction

Safety Precautions

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.

Safety Precautions

For GY-HC900RCHE

IMPORTANT (for owners in the U.K.) Connection to the mains supply in the United Kingdom. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment.

If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or contact the local dealers in your area.

BE SURE to replace the fuse only with

an identical approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off be sure to remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below:

DO NOT make any connection to the

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.

Blue to N (Neutral) or Black Brown to L (Live) or Red

WARNING

Operation of this equipment in a residential environment could cause radio interference.

CAUTION:

Where there are strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism, for example near a radio or TV transmitter, transformer, motor, etc., the picture and the sound may be disturbed. In such case, please keep the apparatus away from the sources of the disturbance.

Precautions for Proper Use

SDHC/SDXC Cards

Groove

SDHC/SDXC card is referred to as SD card in this manual.

This camera recorder saves the recorded images and audio sound on the SD card (sold separately) in the card slot.

SD card contains files recorded by devices

If the other than this camera recorder or files that are saved from a PC, the recordable time may be shorter or data may not be properly recorded. In addition, the remaining space on the card may not increase even when files are deleted using a PC.

For details on the combinations of usable SD card and format setting, refer to [Usable Cards] (A P 22).

* Using cards other than those from Panasonic,

TOSHIBA or SanDisk may result in recording failure or data loss.

Handling of SD Cards

The status indicator lights up in red when data on the SD card is being accessed. Do not remove the SD card during data access (such as not turn off the power or remove the battery and AC adapter during access either.

Do not use or store the SD card in a place that is subject to static electricity or electrical noise.

Do not place the SD card near locations that are exposed to strong magnetic fields or radio waves.

Inserting the SD card incorrectly may result in damage of this unit or the SD card.

We are not liable for any accidental loss of data stored on the SD card. Please back up any important data.

Make use of the SD card within the prescribed conditions of use. Do not use it at the following locations. Places that are subject to direct sunlight, high humidity or corrosion, places near thermal equipment, sandy or dusty places, or in a car under the sun with the doors and windows closed.

Do not strong impact or vibration.
