Safety Precautions
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 consult your dealer.
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:
Blue to N
(Neutral) or Black
Brown to L (Live)
or Red
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.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.
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.
NOTES:
The rating plate and safety caution are on the
•
bottom and/or the back of the main unit.
The serial number plate is on the battery pack
•
mount.
The rating information and safety caution of the
•
AC adapter are on its upper and lower sides.
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 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.
Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or
places with water.
Also do not place any containers filled with water
or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower
vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this
equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
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 the camcorder and to the user.
Carrying or holding the camcorder 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 camcorder.
CAUTION!
Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to
the camcorder and leaving it on top of the TV is
not recommended, as tripping on the cables will
cause the camcorder to fall, resulting in damage.
CAUTION:
To avoid electric shock
or damage to the
unit, first firmly insert
the small end of the
power cord into the
AC Adapter until it is
no longer wobbly, and
then plug the larger
end of the power cord into an AC outlet.
WARNING:
The battery pack and the camcorder with battery
installed should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as direct sunshine, fire or the Iike.
CAUTION:
The mains plug shall remain readily operable.

SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE
SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and
manufactured to meet international safety standards
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken
if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to
be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you
attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including
the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections
between pieces of equipment) are properly
made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug
when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about
the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in
any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged
in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment
and make sure that your family knows how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm
or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or
radios so that you are distracted from the requirements
of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst
driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such
use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for
example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating
will cause damage and shorten the life of the
equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with
wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the
manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings
provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain
or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
NEVER let anyone especially children push anything
•
into holes, slots or any other opening in the case
— this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
•
equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than
sorry!
Remember that this camcorder is intended for
private consumer use only.
Any commercial use without proper permission
is prohibited. (Even if you record an event such
as a show, performance or exhibition for personal
enjoyment, it is strongly recommended that you
obtain permission beforehand.)

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 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. 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.
