● Please do not use the battery that cannot be connected

with this product.

● Make sure that the power switch is turned off before

removing the battery. Failure to do so may result in malfunction of the memory recorder or SxS memory card.

● Do not unplug the IEEE1394 cable during recording or

playback.

● When power is not supplied for a prolonged period of time

(three months or longer), the initial setting screen appears when the power is next turned on.

● Do not place objects on the memory recorder.

● This product cannot be used by connecting the IEEE1394

terminal of the KA-UM100G adapter (sold separately) to the computer.

● Please contact our authorized dealers if inspection of the

interior components or repair is required.

Fire Hazard, Electrical Shock and Injury

● Do not place this product on unstable surfaces as it may

fall and lead to injuries or malfunction of the product. When this product is attached to a camcorder, carry it by holding the handle of the camcorder.

● Do not remove or modify the cover of this product. It might
