Instructions are the sole responsibility
of the user.

Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD Monitor
screen featuring a total of approximately
200,000 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.

≥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.

≥The manufacturer shall in no event be

liable for the loss of recordings due to
malfunction or defect of this SD Multi AV
Device, its accessories or Memory Card.
