to conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See figure below.
Important safety instructions
21. LIGHTNING:
For added protection of this CAMCORDER during a lightning
storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna
or cable system. This will prevent damage to the CAMCORDER
due to lightning and powerline surges.
22. POWER LINES:
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing
an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.

d. If the CAMCORDER does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the CAMCORDER to its
normal operation.
e. If the CAMCORDER has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged,
f. When the CAMCORDER exhibits a distinct change in
performance, this indicates a need for service.
27. REPLACEMENT PARTS:

charged the battery. ‘Full HD’ stands for high definition image quality and ‘SD’
stands for standard image quality.
• Times shown above are measured under Samsung’s test conditions. Your
times may differ, depending on your usage and conditions.
• The recording and playback times will be shorter when you use your
camcorder in low temperatures.
• We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse
RFC function.
• The charging time will vary depending on the charge remaining in the
battery.

indicator color changes to green. It takes about 2 hours and 40
minutes for the battery to charge 100%.
The continuous recording time above shows the available recording time 'when
you record 'without using any other function after recording starts. The battery may
discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference if you use the recording start/stop, the
