Precautions
General precautions
• Do not store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas, as its
components may be damaged.
• Do not store the product in excessively hot environments.
High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product
warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside,
which may damage the electronic circuits.
• Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.
High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric
shock when exposed.
• Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may
damage the internal components.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the product. Clean the product by wiping it
with a slightly damp soft cloth.
• Do not open the battery cover while an image is being
recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current
image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already
stored on file.
• If the product or any of its accessories are not working
properly, contact Monoprice Technical Support for assistance.
The personnel there will assist you and, if necessary, arrange
for the product to be replaced under warranty.
• Test for proper operation before using the camcorder.
v
Operating conditions
• This camcorder is designed for use in temperatures ranging
from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
• Do not store the camcorder in the following areas:
- In areas subject to direct sunlight
- In areas subject to high humidity or dust
- Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to
temperature extremes
- Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun
- In areas subject to excessively strong vibrations
Power supply
• Use only the type of battery that came with your camera
(SLB-10A). Using any other type of battery may damage the
equipment and invalidate the warranty.
• Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat.
• Do not attempt to split or peel the battery's outer casing.
• Remove the battery if the camera is not going to be used for a
long time. If the battery is left unused for more than 3 months,
you need to charge the battery before use.
vi
Notes on the Waterproof Case
Waterproof Case performance
• The waterproof case performance is equivalent to
(60m/1hr).
• Underwater time limit: Do not use the waterproof case
underwater for more than 60 minutes
• Depth limit: Do not use the waterproof case at depths greater
than 196 feet/60 meters to ensure water resistance.
• The waterproof case is not dust-proof.
• The camera and other accessories are not waterproof unless
properly enclosed in the waterproof case.
• When using the camcorder in cold or humid environments or
when going underwater, use an anti-fog insert (silica gel) to
prevent fogging. The anti-fog insert only provides a certain
degree of prevention; results vary depending on the actual
environment. The anti-fog insert is not for long-term use, it
must be replaced regularly.
Notes before going underwater:
(Perform the following actions indoors. Do not perform these
actions in a sandy or dusty environment or near the water’s edge.)
• Check if the area surrounding the waterproof case lock is
clean, do not allow dirt, sand, or foreign objects around it.
• Check the waterproof seal to ensure no sand, dirt, or hair
strands are present.
• Ensure that the waterproof case is closed.
• Ensure that the waterproof case has no cracks or scratches.
IPX8
vii
Notes for general use:
• Avoid opening or closing the waterproof case near the water’s
edge (sea, lake, beach, etc.). Do not open or close the
waterproof case lock with wet hands, or hands with sand or
dust.
• The accessories (batteries, etc.) used with the camcorder are
not water resistant, be careful when using them near water.
• Do not drop the waterproof case.
• Do not use the waterproof case in temperatures above
104°F/40°C or below 32°F/0°C.
• Do not attempt to make alterations on the waterproof case or
seal the vents yourself, doing so may damage its ability to
remain waterproof.
When using the camcorder
• The waterproof properties of the waterproof case apply to
fresh water and saltwater only. They do not apply to cleaning
fluids, chemicals, or water from spas, etc. Any such liquids
should be wiped off immediately.
• Do not immerse the waterproof case in water at a depth
greater than 196 feet/60 meters.
• Do not subject the waterproof case to highly pressurized
water.
• Do not immerse in water for longer than 60 minutes. After 60
minutes of use in water, allow the waterproof case to dry for at
least 10 minutes.
• Do not immerse in water warmer than 104°F/40°C.
• Do not open or close the waterproof case lock with wet hands.
• Do not open the waterproof case lock next to water or a pool.
• The waterproof case is not dust-proof.
• Do not bump or knock the waterproof case underwater,
otherwise the lock may open.
viii
Notes on waterproof case maintenance
• The waterproof seal should be replaced at least once per year.
Replacement seals and case backs are available from
Monoprice.
After using the waterproof case
• Be sure to come ashore within 60 minutes after going
underwater. This will maintain the appearance, quality, and
water resistance of the waterproof case.
• After taking pictures underwater, clean the waterproof case
with running tap water. Do not use any soapy water, mild
detergents, alcohol, or similar liquids to clean the case.
• Wipe off water drops on the waterproof case with a soft
lint-free cloth (avoid fiber). Be sure to wait until the waterproof
case is completely dry before opening the waterproof case
lock.
• After removing the camcorder from the waterproof case, soak
the waterproof case in a bucket of clean water for about 10
minutes. After 10 minutes, wipe the waterproof case dry with
a lint-free cloth. Place the waterproof case in a well ventilated
cool place to dry naturally (do not place under direct sunlight).
Other notes
• If water accidentally enters the camcorder or any problem
occurs when it is in water, please get it out of the water
immediately and take proper actions. Dry the camcorder and
send it for repair, if required.
• Information is subject to change without notice. Refer to the
important notes in the manual supplied with the camcorder.
