Notices and Safety Instructions
ENGLISH
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
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,
paying 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
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/NFPANo. 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.

Notices and Safety Instructions
14. LIGHTNING:
For added protection of this CAMCORDER during a lightning
storm o 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.
15. 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.

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.
18. SERVICING:
Do not attempt to service this CAMCORDER yourself. Opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards.

Precautions on Camcorder Care
✤
Please note the following precautions for use:
✤
Please keep your device in a safe place. This device contains a lens that can be damaged by shock. Keep away from the reach
of the children.
■
Do not place your device in a wet place. Moisture and water may cause the device to malfunction.
■
Do not aim the device at the sun while looking through the viewfinder; this may cause permanent damage to your eyes.
■
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.
■
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 body 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.
■
For better quality, please use CAMERAmode when taking still images. (CAMERA mode image quality is better than
CAMCORDER mode.)

Notes and Safety Instructions
Notices Regarding COPYRIGHT
Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other program materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.
Notes Regarding Moisture Condensation
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause moisture condensation to form inside the camcorder.
For Example:
- When you take the camcorder from a cold place to a warm place (e.g. from outside to inside during winter.)
- When you take the camcorder from a cool place to a hot place (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)
2. When the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder in a dry, warm room with the cassette
compartment opened and the battery removed, for at least two hours.
Notes Regarding the CAMCORDER
1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperatures (above 60°C or 140°F).
For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Do not let the camcorder get wet.
Keep the camcorder away from rain, saltwater, and any other form of moisture. If the camcorder gets wet, it may be
damaged.
A malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot always be repaired.
1111
ENGLISH
Notes and Safety Instructions
Notes Regarding the Battery Pack
- 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 device is in CAMCORDER mode with a tape installed, and it 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 fits firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
- A brand new battery pack will not be charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when recording for
long periods, because the LCD uses up more battery power.
* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries need to be dealt with as chemical waste.
* Be careful not to drop the battery when you release it
Notes Regarding Video Head Cleaning
- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If the picture is distorted, 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.

ENGLISH
Notes and Safety Instructions
Note Regarding the LENS
- Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the CCD(Charge Coupled Device).
- Over-rotating of the LENS body block may damage it.
Notes Regarding Electronic Viewfinder
1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing towards the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful when placing the camcorder under sunlight or near a
window exposed to sunlight.
2. Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder.
Notes Regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ Using the LCD
1. The LCD display has been manufactured using high-precision technology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in color)
that appear on the LCD display.
These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any
way.
2. When you use the LCD display under direct sunlight or outdoors,
it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly.
If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.
3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.
Notes Regarding the Hand Strap
- To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that the hand strap is properly adjusted.
- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could damage it.
