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.

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 Pack Management

■The Battery Pack should be recharged in an environment between 32 °F (0 °C) and 104

■The life and capacity of the Battery Pack will be reduced if it is used in temperatures below left in temperatures above 104 °F (40 °C) for a long period of time, even when it is fully

■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 induce overheating or fire.

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.
