Introduction

Safety Precautions

Page 6

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.

When using the AC adapter in areas other than the USA

The provided AC adapter features automatic voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.

USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG ADAPTER

In case of connecting the unit’s power cord to an AC wall outlet other than American National Standard C73 series type, use an AC plug adapter called a “Siemens Plug” as shown. For this AC plug adapter, please contact the local dealers in your area.

 Remove the AC adapter from the AC

wall outlet when not in use.

 Do not leave dust or metal objects

adhered to the AC wall outlet or AC adapter (power/DC plug).

Introduction

Safety Precautions

Page 7

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.

 When you are not using the AC

adapter for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from AC outlet.

The plastics packaging bags may cause suffocation when they are covered over the head. Tear them open, and keep them away from the reach of infants and children by ensuring that they are disposed of properly.

Battery Pack

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

 To avoid hazards

... do not burn.

 To prevent damage and prolong

service life

... do not subject to unnecessary shock. ... charge within the temperature range

of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Cooler temperatures require longer charging time, or in some cases stop charging at all. Warmer temperatures prevent complete charging, or in some cases stop charging at all.

... store in a cool, dry place. Extended

exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

... keep a 30% battery level if the

battery pack is not to be used for a long period of time.

... remove from charger or powered unit

when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

... do not drop or subject to strong

impact.

... do not short-circuit the

terminals. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use. When transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

... do not modify or

disassemble.

... do not expose the

battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

... use only specified chargers.

SDHC/SDXC Cards

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.

If the SD card contains files recorded by devices 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 the following.

* 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 recording, playback, or formatting). Do 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.
