Notes regarding Moisture Condensation
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation
to form inside the Camcorder.
for example:
■ When you move the Camcorder from a cold location to a warm
location (e.g. from outside to inside during the winter.)
■ When you move the Camcorder from a cool location to a hot
location (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)
2. If the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the
Camcorder for at least two hours in a dry, warm room with the
cassette compartment opened and the Battery pack removed.
Notes regarding Camcorder

Notes and Safety Instructions
Notes regarding the Battery Pack
■ Be sure to use a recommended battery pack as described on page
22. The batteries are available at a SAMSUNG retailer.
■ Make sure that the Battery pack is fully charged before starting to
record.
■ 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.
■ 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.
When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local
dealer.
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
Notes regarding the Video Head Cleaning
■ To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video
heads regularly.
If a square block-shape distorts playback, or only a blue screen is
displayed, the video heads may be dirty.
If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning
cassette.
■ Do not use a wet type cleaning cassette.
It may damage the video heads.

[ Notes ]
■ Please refer to the Table on page 22 for approximate continuous
recording time.
■ The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental
conditions.
■ The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment.
The continuous recording time in the operating instructions are
measured using a fully charged Battery pack at 77 °F (25 °C) since
the environmental temperature and conditions vary. The remaining
battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording
time given in the instructions.
