Notices and Safety Instructions

9. VENTILATION:

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the CAM and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never place your the CAM on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface: on or near a radiator or heat register. The CAM should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer s instructions have been adhered to.

10. POWER SOURCES:

The CAM should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply at your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. If the CAM is intended to be operated from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:

The CAM may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other) or a 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION:

Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, playing particular attention to cords or plugs, convenient receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the CAM, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire and supporting structure, grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding to conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure below.

Notices and Safety Precautions

Precautions on the CAM Care

Do not place your device in a wet place. Moisture and water may cause the device to malfunction. To avoid electric shock, do not touch your device or power cable with wet hands.

Do not use the flash close to another’s eyes. The flash emits a strong light that may cause damage similar to direct

sunlight on one s eyesight. Particular care should be observed if photographing infants, when the flash should be no less than 3 feet from your subject. If the device is not working properly, please consult your nearest dealer or authorized Samsung service facility. Disassembling the device yourself may cause irrecoverable damage which will be difficult to repair. Clean the device with a dry, soft cloth. Use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution for removing stains. Do not use any type of solvent, especially benzenes, as they may seriously damage the finish. Keep your device away from rain and saltwater. After using, clean the device. Saltwater may cause the parts to corrode.

✤ Please note the following precautions for use: ✤ Please keep this device in a safe place. The device contains a lens that can be damaged by shock.

Keep away from the reach of the children.

1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the CAM.

For Example:

✤ Entering or leaving a heated place on a cold day might cause condensation inside the product. ✤ To prevent condensation, place the product in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to a sudden change of

temperature.

✤ Television programs, movie video tapes, DVD titles, films and other program materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized

recording of copyrighted materials may infringe on the rights of the Copyright owners and is contrary to copyright laws.

✤ All the trade names and registered trademarks mentioned in this manual or other documentation provided with your

Samsung product are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective holders.

Notes Regarding the CAM

Notes Regarding COPYRIGHT

Notes Regarding Moisture Condensation

1. Do not leave the CAM exposed to high temperature (above 60°C or 140°F).

For example, in a parked closed car in summer or exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Do not let the CAM get wet. Keep the CAM away from rain, salt water, or any other form of moisture.

The CAM will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high levels of moisture.

1. The LCD monitor has been manufactured using the high precision technology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in color) that appear on the LCD monitor. These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way.

2. When you use the LCD monitor under direct sunlight or outdoors, it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly.

3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.

✤ Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.

Direct sunlight can damage the CCD (Charge Coupled Device, the imaging sensor).

Notes Regarding the Lens

Notes Regarding the LCD Display

Notes Regarding the Battery Pack

✤ Make sure the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record. ✤ To preserve battery power, keep the CAM turned off when you are not operating it. ✤ If your device is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes, it will automatically turn itself off to

protect against unnecessary battery discharge.

✤ Make sure that the battery pack is attached firmly in place. ✤ The new battery pack provided with the product is not charged.

Before using the battery pack, you need to fully charge it.

✤ Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage it. ✤ Fully discharging a Lithium Polymer battery damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when

fully discharged.

✤ To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.

Notes Regarding a Trademark

✤ The logos regarding DivX, DivX Licensed are the trademark of DivX, Network, Inc and can be used after contracting

license.

✳

When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.

Batteries must be disposed of as chemical waste.

✳

Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the CAM.

✤ Do not attempt to service the CAM yourself. ✤ Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. ✤ Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Precautions Regarding Service

Precautions Regarding Replacement Parts

✤ When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer and having the same characteristics as the original part.

✤ Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
