15. The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
should be placed on the apparatus.
16. VENTILATION:
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to
ensure reliable operation of the CAMCORDER and to protect it
from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. Never place your CAMCORDER on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface: on or near a radiator or heat register.
This CAMCORDER 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.
17. POWER SOURCES:
The CAMCORDER 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.
A CAMCORDER is intended to be operated from battery power,
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
18. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:
This CAMCORDER 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.
19. 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,
paying particular attention to cords or plugs, convenient
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
20. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
CAMCORDER, 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.
ENGLISH
Notices and 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 power-line 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.
23. OVERLOADING:
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
24. OBJECTS AND LIQUIDS:
Never push objects of any kind into this CAMCORDER through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
a part that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquids of any kind onto the CAMCORDER. Should
spillage occur, unplug unit and have it checked by a technician
before use.
25. SERVICING:
Do not attempt to service this CAMCORDER yourself. Opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
26. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE:
Unplug this CAMCORDER from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If any liquid has been spilled onto, or objects have fallen into
the CAMCORDER.
c. If the CAMCORDER has been exposed to rain or water.
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:
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.

Using the Lithium Ion Battery Pack
✤ Use SB-LSM80 or SB-LSM160 Battery Pack only.
✤ The Battery Pack may be charged a little at the time of purchase.
Charging the Lithium Ion Battery Pack
1. Turn the [Power] switch to [Off].
2. Attach the Battery Pack to the Camcorder.
3. Connect the AC Power Adapter to an AC Cord and

showing that the Battery is charging.
5. Press and hold the DISPLAY button while charging and the charging status will be
displayed on the LCD for 7 seconds.
■
As indicated the battery level is given as reference data for the user, it is the
approximate estimation. It may differ from Battery capacity and temperature.
6. When the Battery is fully charged, disconnect the Battery Pack and the AC Power Adapter
from the Camcorder.
Even with the Power switched Off, the Battery Pack will still discharge.
Blinking time Charging rate

ENGLISH
Preparation
The amount of continuous recording time available depends on;
- The type and capacity of the Battery Pack you are using.
- Ambient temperature.
- How often the Zoom function is used.
- Type of use (Camcorder/Camera/With LCD Screen etc.).
It is recommended that you have several batteries available.
Battery Level Display
The battery level display indicates the amount of power remaining in the Battery Pack.
a. Fully charged b. 20~40% used
c. 40~80% used d. 80~95% used
e. Completely used (Blinking)
(The Camcorder will turn off soon, change the battery as soon as possible.)
Battery Pack Management
■
The Battery Pack should be recharged in an environment between 32 °F (0 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C).
■
The life and capacity of the Battery Pack will be reduced if it is used in temperatures below 32 °F (0 °C) or
left in temperatures above 104 °F (40 °C) for a long period of time, even when it is fully recharged.
■
Do not put the Battery Pack near any heat source (i.e. fire or a heater).
■
Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the Battery Pack.
■
Do not allow the + and – terminals of the Battery Pack to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation,
induce overheating or fire.
(Blinking)

ENGLISH
Preparation
Notes regarding the Battery Pack
■
Please refer to the Table on page 16 for approximate continuous recording time.
■
The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.
■
The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. As the environmental temperature and conditions vary.
■
The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged Battery Pack at 77 °F
(25 °C). The remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the
instructions.
■
It is recommended you use the original Battery Pack that is available at SAMSUNG retailer.
When the Battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
■
Make sure that the Battery Pack is fully charged before starting to record.
■
A brand new Battery Pack is not charged. Before using the Battery Pack, you need to charge it completely.
■
Fully discharging a Lithium Ion Battery damages the internal cells.
The Battery Pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
■
To preserve battery power, keep your Camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
■
If your Camcorder is in <Camera> mode, and it is left in <STBY> mode without being operated for more than 5
minutes with a tape inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
■
Make sure that the Battery Pack is fitted firmly into place.
Do not drop the Battery Pack. Dropping the Battery Pack may damage it.
