(supplied).

ª About using this unit

≥After long operation, this device can

get warm. This is not a malfunction.

≥Turn on and operate the SD Video

Camera every 6 months even if you do not have plans to use it.

ª About the AC Adaptor

≥Be sure to use supplied 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 meter or more away from a radio.

≥When the AC adaptor is in use, it may

≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor

clean at all times.

ª About the Battery

Battery characteristics

A lithium ion battery is a small-sized battery with large capacity. However, when it is cooled down due to the low temperature (50oF (10oC) or less), the operating time becomes short by its characteristics and it may not operate properly. In this case, warm the battery moderately (e.g. in a pocket) and then insert it just before you use the Camera. (When using a body warmer, be careful that it does not directly touch the battery.)

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 adaptor 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 Video 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: 59 to 77°F (15 to 25oC), recommended humidity: 40 to 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.

If the operating time is drastically shortened even after charging, the life has expired. Replace it with a new battery.

ª Condensation

When using the camera outdoors during very cold weather, dew 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 operate. 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 becomes 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.

ª About the LCD Monitor

≥In a place with drastic temperature

changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with the cleaning cloth (supplied).

≥Do not push the LCD monitor forcefully. It

may cause unevenness and malfunctions to the monitor.

≥When the lens is aimed at a subject with

high contrast, the picture may look uneven or after images may appear on the LCD monitor. This is not a malfunction.

≥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 117,600 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 About the Lens

≥Do not touch the lens. Wipe the SD Video

Camera with the cleaning cloth (supplied) when the lens becomes unclean. Do not wipe stains on the lens with sharp objects. The lens may be scratched or broken.

≥When the Lens is fogged up, turn off the

SD Video Camera and leave the SD Video Camera in this condition for approx.

1 hour. When the lens temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally.

ª About the Memory Card

When the 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.

≥The SD Memory Card

has a write-protect switch. Sliding the switch to [LOCK] prevents the contents in the Memory Card from deleting accidentally.

≥As a result of improper operations,

recorded data may be damaged or erased. Panasonic does not assume responsiblity for the loss caused by the erasure of the recording data.

ª State of Power Lamp while

charging

The Power Lamp flashes while charging. (Flashes approx. every 4 seconds when charging is normal (flashes on approx. 2 seconds and off approx. 2 seconds).) When the Power Lamps flashes more quickly or slowly (or turns off), some abnormality may have occurred. The flashing speed suggests the following states.

Flashing approx. every 1 second

(flashes on approx. 0.5 seconds and off approx. 0.5 seconds): ≥The SD Video Camera, battery or AC

adaptor may be defective. Contact your nearest Panasonic dealer.

Flashing approx. every 12 seconds

(flashes on approx. 6 seconds and off approx. 6 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 AC Adaptor or the battery is probably defective. Contact your nearest Panasonic dealer.
