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

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.

...

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 ﬁre.

... use only speciﬁed 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. 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.

... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery

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

•

medium in locations that are exposed to strong static electricity or electrical noise.

Do not turn off the camcorder power or remove

•

the battery or AC adapter during shooting, playback, or when otherwise accessing the recording medium.

Do not bring the recording medium near objects

•

that have a strong magnetic ﬁeld or that emit strong electromagnetic waves.

Do not store the recording medium in locations

•

with high temperature or high humidity. Do not touch the metal parts.

•

When formatting or erasing data using

•

the camcorder, only the ﬁle administration information is changed. The data is not completely erased from the hard disk. If you want to completely erase all of the data, we recommend either using commercially available software that is specially designed for that purpose, or by physically destroying the camcorder with a hammer etc.

Hard Disk

Do not use the unit where it is subject to

•

vibrations or loud sounds. If you move the unit suddenly, the drop detection

•

function may operate and the power may be turned off.

LCD Monitor

To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO

•

NOT

... push it strongly or apply any shocks. ... place the camcorder with LCD monitor on the

bottom.

To prolong service life

•

... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

Page 43

Main Unit

For safety, DO NOT

•

... open the camcorder’s chassis. ... disassemble or modify the unit. ... allow inﬂammables, water or metallic objects to

enter the unit.

... remove the battery pack or disconnect the

power supply while the power is on.

... leave the battery pack attached when the

camcorder is not in use.

... place naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted

candles, on the apparatus. ... expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. ... leave dust or metal objects adhered to the

power plug or an AC wall outlet. ... insert any objects in the camcorder.

Avoid using the unit

•

... in places subject to excessive humidity or dust. ... in places subject to soot or steam such as near

a cooking stove. ...

in places subject to excessive shock or vibration. ... near a television set. ... near appliances generating strong magnetic

or electric ﬁelds (speakers, broadcasting

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

or extremely low (under 0°C) temperatures. ... in places where air pressure is low (more than

3000 m 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 ﬂoor.

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 camcorder case excessively

when the camcorder is inside it. ... place the camcorder in dusty or sandy areas,

such as on a beach.

To prevent the unit from dropping,

•

Fasten the grip belt securely.

•

When using the camcorder with a tripod, attach

•

the camcorder to the tripod securely.

If the camcorder drops, you may be injured and

the camcorder may be damaged.

When a child uses the unit, there must be

parental guidance.
