Precautions

USE & LOCATION

• TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD ... Your

camera and power supply should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Do not

connect the power supply or operate your camera if it gets wet. Your camera has

been designed for outdoor use, however it

is not designed to sustain direct exposure

to water, rain, sleet, snow, sand, dust, or a direct splashing from a pool or even a cup of coffee. This action could permanently

damage the internal parts of your camera.

Do not attempt to disassemble this unit.

There are no user serviceable parts

inside. Unplug your camera from the

power supply before cleaning.

• AS WITH ANY SMALL OBJECT, SD CARDS CAN BE SWALLOWED BY

YOUNG CHILDREN. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO HANDLE THE SD CARD.

• DO NOT AIM YOUR CAMERA AT THE SUN OR OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS

• DO NOT LEAVE THE CAMERA WITH

THE EVF AIMED DIRECTLY AT THE SUN AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO

THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE EVF

• DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR CAMERA TO

EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ...

Such as, in direct sunlight, inside a closed car, next to a heater, etc... This action

could permanently damage the internal parts of your camera.

• AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ... If the unit is suddenly

moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form on the SD card and

inside the unit.

• DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAMERA OR

THE POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT IN USE.

• STORAGE OF YOUR CAMERA ... Store and handle your camera in a manner that

will not subject it to unnecessary movement (avoid shaking and striking).

Your camera contains a sensitive pick-up device which could be damaged by

improper handling or storage.

CARE

• TO CLEAN YOUR CAMERA ... Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning your camera body.

• TO PROTECT THE LENS ... Do not touch the surface of the lens with your hand.

Use a commercial camera lens solution and lens paper when cleaning the lens. Improper cleaning can scratch the lens coating.

• Indemnity about recorded

content

Panasonic does not accept any

responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that

result in loss of recording or edited content, and does not guarantee any content if

recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case

where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-built-in memory/

HDD related component).

• Handling of built-in memory

[HDC-TM700]

This unit is equipped with the built-in 32 GB memory. When using this component, pay

attention to the following points.

Back up data periodically.

The built-in memory is temporary storage. In order to avoid erasing data due to static

electricity, electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures, back up the data to a

PC or DVD disc. (-) 109, 117)

• Access lamp [ACCESS] (-,) 16)illuminates while the SD card or built-in memory is

being accessed (initialization, recording, playback, deleting etc.). Do not perform the

following operations when the lamp

illuminates. It may damage the built-in memory or cause a malfunction in the unit.

Turn the unit off (remove the battery)

Insert and remove the USB cable Expose the unit to vibrations or shock

• About disposing of or giving away this unit. (-,) 142)

• Handling of HDD [HDC-HS700]

This unit is equipped with the built-in 240 GB

HDD. While the HDD is capable of storing a

large amount of data, there are a few things to look out for. When using this component,

pay attention to the following points.

Do not expose the HDD to vibrations and shocks.

Due to the environment and handling

conditions, the HDD may be subject to

partial damages or may not be able to read, record, and play back data. Do not expose

the unit to vibrations or shock, and do not turn off the power during recording or

playback.

If the unit is used in a place with loud sounds, such as a club or similar venue,

the recording may stop due to sound vibrations. Recording data on an SD card

is recommended in these places. Back up data periodically.

The HDD is temporary storage. In order to avoid erasing data due to static electricity,

electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures, back up the data to a PC or DVD

disc. (-) 109, 117) If the HDD experiences any abnormality,

back up data immediately. Failure in the HDD may produce continuous

noise or choppy sound during recording or playing back. Continuous use will cause further deterioration, and may eventually

disable the HDD. If these phenomena are observed, copy the data on the HDD to a

PC, a DVD disc etc. immediately and contact consumer support. (-) 161, 162)

Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be restored.

Operation may stop in hot or cold environments.

The unit is disabled in order to protect the HDD.

Do not use the unit in low atmospheric pressures.

The HDD may fail if it is used at altitudes of 3000 m (9800 feet) or higher above sea level.

Transportation When the unit is transported, turn off the power and be careful not to shake, drop, or

cause impact to the unit. Falling detection
