not function even after it is recharged.

ª About the Lens

When the Lens is Fogged Up:

Turn off the SD Multi AV Device and leave the SD Multi AV
Device in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lens
temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature,
the fog disappears naturally.

ª About the AC Adaptor

≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes longer time than

usual.

≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception

may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or more
away from radio.

≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Main Lead from the

AC Main socket. (The SD Multi AV Device consumes
approx. 0.5 W of power even when it is turned off.)

≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery

clean at all times.

≥Remove the battery if the device is left unused for a long

time.

≥The temperature of the SD Multi AV Device and the

battery may rise while charging the battery. Such rise of
temperature does not indicate a fault.

≥Do not install, remove, plug or unplug the battery or

power cord while the power is on.

ª About the LCD Monitor

≥In a place with drastic temperature changes,

condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with
a soft dry cloth.

≥If your SD Multi AV Device is extremely cold when you

turn its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor will be
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 110,000 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.

ª Optimal Use of the Battery

Battery Characteristics

This 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 temperature is too high or too low, the operating
time of the Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used
in an extremely cold environment, the Battery may
operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery becomes
extremely hot, a protective function may operate, and the
Battery may become unusable for a while.

Be Sure to Detach the Battery after Use

Be sure to detach the Battery from the SD Multi AV
Device. (If it is left attached to the SD Multi AV Device, a
minute amount of current is consumed even when the SD
Multi AV Device power is off.) If the Battery is left attached
to the SD Multi AV Device for a long time, over discharge
takes place. The Battery may become unusable after it is
charged.

Disposing of an Unusable Battery

≥The Battery has a limited life.
≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may cause

an explosion.

Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery Clean

Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust,
or other substances.
If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see if the
Battery body and terminals are deformed.
Attaching a deformed Battery to the SD Multi AV Device
may damage the SD Multi AV Device.

34

ª Notes on the SD Memory Card Write-

Protect Switch

≥The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch. Sliding

the switch to [LOCK] prevents the recording of data to
the card as well as the deletion of data from the card.
Sliding back the switch permits such operations.

ª Cautions for Storage

Before storing the SD Multi AV Device, take the Card
out and detach the Battery.

Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively
stable temperature.
(Recommended Temperature:59 to 77oF (15 to 25oC),
Recommended Humidity:40 to 60%)

SD Multi AV Device

≥Do not leave the SD Multi AV Device in places that

expose it to high temperature.

Battery

≥Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will

shorten the life of the Battery.

≥If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places, the

terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

≥Do not allow the Battery terminals to come in

contact with metal objects (such as necklaces,
hairpins, etc.) This can result in a short circuit or
heat generation and, if you touch the Battery in this
condition, you may be badly burned.

≥Store the Battery in a completely discharged state. To

store the Battery for a long period of time, we
recommend you charge it once every year and store it
again after you completely use up the charged capacity.

Card

≥When the Card is being read, do not remove the Card,

turn off the power, 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 or drop the Card. The Card or the recorded

content may be damaged.

≥After use, be sure to remove the Card from the SD Multi

AV Device.

≥After usage, store the supplied SD Memory Card in the

enclosed bag.

≥Do not touch the terminals on the back of the Card with

your fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter it.

Flashing approx. every six seconds:
≥The ambient temperature or that of the battery itself is

too high or too low. Charging proceeds, but will take a
longer time.

Turning off:
Charging is completed.
If the Power Lamp turns off when charging is not
completed, the following reasons are probable.
≥The ambient temperature or that of the battery itself is

too high or too low. Wait until the proper temperature is
reached and charge the Battery again.

≥The AC Adaptor is probably defective. Contact your

nearest Panasonic dealer.

ª State of Power Lamp while charging

The Power Lamp flashes while charging. (Flashes approx.
every two seconds when charging is normal.)
When the Power Lamps flashes more quickly or slowly (or
tuns off), some abnormality may have occurred.
The flashing speed suggests the following states.

Flashing approx. every 0.5 seconds:
≥The SD Multi AV Device, battery or AC adaptor may be

defective. Contact your nearest Panasonic dealer.

Multi AV Device onto a personal computer and

attach it to an e-mail to send it. In this case, it is
recommended to make a file size 1 MB or less. The
recording time of 1 MB MPEG4 moving picture is
approx. 15 seconds (Fine), 20 seconds (Normal), 45
seconds (Economy 1) or 60 seconds (Economy 2).
(The capacity limit of the file which is attachable to an
e-mail differs depending on the environment used.) If

may remain turned on or off.

9-2: If the SD Multi AV Device is used continuously for a

long time or used at a high ambient temperature, red,
blue, green or white dots may appear on the screen
and be recorded on a still picture. This is due to the
rise of the temperature inside the body. This is
caused by a characteristic of the C-MOS sensor and
is not a failure. Under this condition, turn the SD Multi
AV Device off and leave it for a while.

≥C-MOS sensors are said to be a next-

generation image pick-up device succeeding
CCDs as they are small and consume low
amounts of power.
