Cautions

Battery Packs

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. ... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away

from metallic objects when not in use. When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

... do not modify or disassemble. ... do not expose the battery to temperatures

exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch ﬁ re.

... use only speciﬁ ed chargers.

To prevent damage and prolong service life

•

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

10°C to 35°C. This is a chemical reaction type battery — cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

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

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

... fully charge and then fully discharge the

battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.

... remove from charger or powered unit when

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

Terminals

Recording Medium

Be sure to follow the guidelines below

•

to prevent corruption or damage to your recorded data.

Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or

•

subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.

Do not splash the recording medium with water.

•

Do not use, replace, or store the recording

•

antennas, etc.). ... in places subject to extremely high (over 40°C)

or extremely low (under 0°C) temperatures. ... in places subject to the air pressure is low

(more than 3000 m (9870 ft) above the sea

level).

DO NOT leave the unit

•

... in places of over 50°C. ... in places where humidity is extremely low

(below 35%) or extremely high (above 80%). ... in direct sunlight. ... in a closed car in summer. ... near a heater. ... in high places such as on a TV. Leaving the

unit in high places while a cable is connected

may result in a malfunction if the cable is

caught and the unit falls onto the ﬂ oor.

To protect the unit, DO NOT

•

... allow it to become wet. ... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects. ... subject it to shock or excessive vibration

during transportation. ... keep the lens directed at extremely bright

objects for long periods. ... expose the lens to direct sunlight. ... swing it excessively when using the hand

strap. ... swing the soft camera case excessively when

the camera is inside it.
