Caution for AC mains lead

For your safety, please read the following text carefully.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three-pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-amperes and it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer.

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

_ IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the earth terminal of the three-pin plug, marked with the letter E or the Earth Symbol Ó.

_ Battery

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power is based upon the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity, and, if the higher or lower the temperature becomes, the more the battery will be affected.

Be sure to detach the battery after use.

• If it is left attached to this unit, a minute amount of current is consumed even when this unit power is off. If it is left for a long time, over discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable even after it is charged.

Have spare batteries on hand when you use this unit outdoors.

• In a cold place, the recordable time will be shorter.

• When you travel, be sure to bring the supplied AC adapter and USB cradle for charging in the place you are visiting.

If the battery is dropped, check that the terminal is not deformed.

• If the battery attached to this unit with the terminal is deformed, it may damage the body of SD Multi Camera.

Be sure to pull out the battery and the card, disconnect the plug after use.

• Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature. (recommended temperature: 15 25oC, recommended humidity: 40 60%)

• Extremely high or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

• If the battery is kept in hot, humid, smoky or dusty places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

• Store the battery in a completely discharged state. To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once every year and storing it again after you completely use up the charged capacity.

Do not throw the battery into a fire.

• If you heat or burn the battery, it may cause an explosion.

• The battery has a limited life.

Cautions for Use (Continued)

_ AC adaptor

• If you use the AC adaptor near a radio (especially when you are tuning in AM stations), radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m or more away from radio.

• When the AC adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

• Keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor clean at all times.

Put this SD Multi Camera near the outlet to make it easy to reach for the interrupting device (plug).

_ Charging error

When the charge lamp blinks approx. every

0.5 seconds (lighting approx. 0.25 seconds,

turning off approx. 0.25 seconds), it suggests the following states.

• The ambient temperature or that of the battery itself is too high or too low. Charge the battery after warming the temperature of periphery or battery adequately.

• The SD Multi Camera, battery or AC adaptor may be defective. Contact your nearest Panasonic dealer.

_ Condensation

When using the camera outdoors during very cold weather, dews can be formed on the camera and the lens when you return to a warm place. If condensation takes place, the lens may be fogged or the camera may not properly operated. Take care not to cause condensation and take the appropriate countermeasures.

Causes of condensation

Differences in temperature and humidity as shown below cause condensation.

• When this unit is brought into a warm room from outdoors in the cold.

• When this unit is brought inside a car from outside.

• When warming a cold room suddenly.

• When cool air from an air conditioner is directly blowing on the unit.

• When the place is humid.

When condensation has taken place:

• Turn the power off and leave this unit in this condition for about 1 hour. When the camera become close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally.

• When you move this unit from a cold place to a warm place, enclose the camera in a plastic bag, wait until the camera is warmed, and then take it out of the bag.

_ Memory card

When the power/card access lamp is Blinking (when the card is being read), do not remove the card, turn the power off, or subject it to vibration or impact. Do not leave the card in places where there is high temperature or direct sunlight, or where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated. Do not bend, drop, or subject it to strong vibration.

• If the above precautions are not taken, the card or the recorded content may be damaged.

Be sure to pull out and store the card after use.

• Keep the card in the storage bag to store or carry the card around.

• Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter the terminals on the back of the card. Do not touch it with your fingers.

_ Picture data

• As a result of improper operations, recorded data may be damaged or erased. We are not responsible for the loss caused by the erasure of the recording data.

• When this message is displayed “PLEASE WAIT”, never remove the battery or the card, and do not disconnect the AC adapter (supplied) out. It may cause damage to the data and malfunctions.

_ LCD monitor

• In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not push the LCD monitor strongly. It may cause unevenness and malfunctions to the monitor.

• If this unit is extremely cold when you turn the power on, the image on the LCD monitor is slightly darker than usual at first. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to the normal brightness.

• Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 76,800 pixels. The result is more than

99.99% effective pixels with a mere

0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

_ Format

• Format the card on this unit. If formatting the card using PC, use SD-Jukebox Ver.4 (supplied). Particularly for the Card containing music files, check in the card using SD-Jukebox Ver.4, with which the music files were recorded, then format it. (For details, read the operating instructions for SD-Jukebox Ver.4.)
