|
|
magnet or a motor. Do not put the video camera close to an object that emits powerful radio |
|||
|
|
|
waves, for example, an antenna. Strong magnetic field may cause faults on the video camera or |
|||
|
|
|
damage the image / voice data. |
|||
|
3. |
Do not expose the video camera to high temperature or direct sunshine. |
||||
|
4. |
Do not put the memory card close to an object that generates strong magnetic field, such as a |
||||
|
|
|
television set, a speaker, or a magnet. Do not put the memory card in a place where static |
|||
|
|
|
electricity is easily generated. |
|||
|
5. |
Stop recharging the battery immediately when over heat, smoke, or peculiar smell occurs during |
||||
|
|
|
recharging. |
|||
|
6. |
Keep the video camera out of reach of children during recharging, because the power cable may |
||||
|
|
|
cause asphyxia or electrical shock on children. |
|||
|
7. |
Store the video camera in a cool, dry, and dust-free place. |
