the battery or the SD/SDHC card.
Connect the mains adapter plug to a professionally installed 230 V, 50 Hz
mains socket.
To remove the mains adapter quickly and easily from the mains in an
emergency, the socket must be easily accessible and close to the appliance.
Do not bend or crush the mains cable.
Only use the supplied mains adapter.
Take measures to prevent moisture or liquid from penetrating the
camcorder or mains adapter.
Do not touch the mains cable with wet hands.
5
Never use the camcorder if the mains adapter is damaged.
If the mains adapter or cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a mans
adapter of the same type to avoid hazards. Please contact our service in this
case.
Switch the camcorder off immediately if it malfunctions.
Do not allow the camcorder or mains adapter to come into contact with
rain or be splashed by water.
Do not place containers containing liquid, e.g. vases, on the appliance, the
mains adapter or near to these and protect all parts of the device from rain
and water. The container may tip over and the liquid will impair the
electrical safety.
Risk of explosion
Never expose batteries or rechargeable batteries to excessive heat (such as
direct sunlight, fire or similar).
Do not throw batteries into a fire.
Never short-circuit any (rechargeable) batteries.
Do not dismantle (rechargeable) batteries.
CATUION! Danger of explosion if rechargeable batteries are replaced

Do not place naked flames such as lit candles on or near the unit.
6
Risk of poisoning
Keep the battery out of reach of children.
Risk of chemical burns
If the battery is depleted, remove it from the device immediately. There is
an increased risk of leakage. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous
membranes. If these areas come into contact with battery acid, rinse them
immediately with plenty of clean water and contact a doctor immediately.
Preventing damage to the eyes
Do not use the flash close to anyone’s eyes.
When using the camera function do not direct the flash towards the eyes of
people or animals.
Always maintain a minimum distance of one metre when using the flash,
especially with small children.
Preventing damage to the camcorder

the contacts before inserting a new battery.
Only use the supplied lithium-ion battery.
Before inserting the battery, check that the contacts in the camcorder and
on the batteries are clean. Clean the battery connections if necessary with a
clean, dry cloth or an eraser.
Do not touch the lens or lens mounting.
Only use the supplied mains adapter.
7
Preventing damage to the battery
Always observe the correct polarity. Make sure that the plus (+) and minus
(-) poles are correctly inserted to avoid short circuits.

been moved from a cold environment to a warm room. The device can
safely be connected for charging as soon as the unit has reached room
temperature.
Do not use or store the camcorder in direct sunlight or at high temperatures.
At low temperatures the capacity of the battery can drop
significantly due to the reduced speed of the chemical reactions.
When recording in cold weather keep a second battery pack in
reserve in a warm place (e.g. trouser pocket).At low temperatures
the capacity of the battery can drop significantly due to the
reduced speed of the chemical reactions. When recording in cold
weather keep a second battery pack in reserve in a warm place
