Precautions
For safety, strictly observe the following instructions.
•Do not open the cabinet.
•Prevent inflammables, water and metallic objects from entering the unit.
•Do not use the unit when there is lightning in the vicinity. Disconnect the power cable of connected equipment.
Avoid using the unit under the following conditions.
•Places subject to excessive humidity or dust.
•Near appliances generating strong magnetic or electric fields (speakers, broadcasting antennas, etc.).
•Places subject to soot or steam such as near a cooking stove.
•Places subject to excessive shock or vibration.
•Near a television set (rolling pictures or howling might result).
•Extremely hot places.
Do not expose the unit to high temperatures over S0°C for long periods.
If the unit should be subjected to direct sunlight, or left in a closed car in summer, or placed near a heater, the CCD and the auto-focus sensor may deteriorate and the cabinet may become deformed.
Furthermore, this also may cause the transistors and other electronic and mechanical parts to malfunction. Remember the following;
•Do not leave the unit in places of over 50°C.
•Do not use the unit in places of over 40°C.
•Do not use the unit in places of below 0°C.
•Protect the unit from excessively dry or excessively humid conditions (below 35% or above 80% humidity).
•For long storage, select a place between -10“C and 30°C.
Take special care for protection of the unit.
•Do not allow the unit to become wet.
•Do not leave the unit in closed cars on hot summer days.
•Take special care not to drop the unit or strike it against hard objects. Protect from shocks during transportation.
Make it a rule to observe the following instructions.
•Do not remove the battery pack or disconnect other power supply units during recording or playback before pressing the PQWER switch to QFF. If not observed, this will cause tape damage.
•When the unit is not in use, remove the battery pack.
Keep the lens and viewfinder eyepiece always clean.
•When the lens is dirty or dusty, blow it off first and then gently wipe with a soft brush or lens cleaning paper.
•The lens is likely to become moldy if left dirty.
Be careful not to damage the CCD and auto-focus sensor.
•Do not keep the lens directed at extremely bright objects such as the sun or other light sources for long periods. Although the CCD is less susceptible to such burn than a tube would be, caution should be exercised when using this unit. Most importantly, the lens should be capped except while actually shooting.
•Do not direct the eyepiece of the viewfinder at the sun.
Auto-focus requires a bit of consideration.
•Do not touch the focus ring while the auto-focus mechanism is in operation as this could damage the auto-focus mechanism.
•When a filter or a special-effect lens is to be attached to the end of the lens, be sure to turn power off or switch from the Auto focus mode to the Manual mode. NEVER attempt to attach a filter or lens while the auto-focus mechanism is operating as this will result in malfunctioning. (If a teleconversion or wide-angle conversion lens is attached, the Auto-focus mode cannot be used.)
Handle the unit carefully.
•Protect the microphone from excessive shocks.
•Do not carry the unit by holding it only by the viewfinder.
Moisture condensation disenables use of the unit.
•You have observed that pouring a cold liquid into a glass will cause drops of water to form on the glass's outer surface. This same phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a video recorder when the recorder is moved from a cool place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, under extremely humid conditions or in a place directly subjected to the cool air from an air conditioner
•Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the recorder Itself.
•If moisture condensation occurs on the head drum, a condensation warning appears in the counter display and the unit enters the Stop mode, unable to function. In such a case, wait for a few hours until the indicator disappears.
Maintenance
•When the cabinet is dusty, clean by gently v/iping with a soft cloth.
•Avoid the use of strong cleaning agents such as benzine or alcohol as they may damage the cabinet.
•Cleaning should be done only after the battery pack has been removed or other power units have been disconnected.
Serious malfunctioning
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and consult your local PHILIPS dealer.
Video cassettes
Recording onto prerecorded tapes automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.
An inverted cassette cannot be inserted.
Do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly without allowing the tape to run at all. This will slacken the tape and thereby damage it.
Make certain before loading the cassette that the tape is not slackened. If there is any slack, turn the gear on the cassette in the direction of the arrow to take up slack
The cassette is equipped with a safety tab to prevent accidental erasure. When the tab is removed, recording is impossible. If you wish to record on a cassette whose tab has been removed, use adhesive tape to reseal the slot.
To avoid excessive exposure to dust and fingerprints, do not open the front tape cover.
Storage of cassettes
•Avoid exposing the cassettes to direct sunlight. Keep them away from heaters.
•Avoid storing the cassettes in humid or dusty places
•Do not drop the cassettes. Do not expose them to violent vibrations or shocks.
•Do not expose the cassettes to strong magnetic fields (near a motor, transformer or magnet).
•Place the cassettes in cassette cases and position them vertically.
