Caution on Replaceable lithium battery

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C or incinerate. Replace battery with Panasonic, Sanyo, Sony or Maxell CR2025. Danger of explosion or risk of fire if the battery is incorrectly replaced.

 Dispose of used battery promptly.  Keep away from children.  Do not disassemble and do not dispose

of in fire.

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 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.

Introduction

Safety Precautions

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.

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.

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 in to an 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.

If this symbol is shown, it is only valid in the European Union.

Battery Pack (sold separately)

The battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the 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, 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.

Terminals

 To prevent damage and prolong

service life

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

of 10°C to 30°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.

... 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.
