Notices and Safety Instructions

Please rotate the LCD screen carefully as illustrated. Unintended rotation may cause damage to the inside

of the hinge that connects the LCD screen to the Camcorder,

1) LOD screen closed.

2) Standard recording by using the LCD screen.

3) Making a recording by looking at the LCD screen from the top.

4) Making a recording by looking at the LCD screen from the front.

5) Making a recording with the LCD screen closed.

Do not let the LENS point toward the sun. Direct sunlight can damage the CCD (Charge Coupled Device),

Notices and Safety Instructions

1) Do not place the camcorder so 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 by a

window.

2) Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder.

3) Unintended rotation may cause damage to the viewfinder.

1) A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensa- tion to form inside the camcorder.

for example:

• When you take the camcorder from cold temperature outside to warm temperature inside during the winter. When you take the camcorder from cool temperature inside to

hot temperature outside during the summer.

2) If the "DEW" protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder

in a dry, warm room with the cassette compartment opened

and the battery removed.

X X X

IENGLISH I

If the "DEW" protection feature is activated unexpectedly, and you want to override it, detach, then reinstall the battery pack and lithium battery.

Please make sure that the condensation has disappeared completely. (see page 66)

IENGLISHI

Notices and Safety Instructions

Make sure that the battery pack is charged before recording outdoors. To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it. When your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, if it is left in STANDBY for more than 5 minutes

without operation, it will automatically turn off to protect against unexpected battery discharge. It is a good idea to use the viewfinder instead of the LCD when recording for a tong time because

the LCD uses more battery power. Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.

Dropping the battery pack might damage it. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.

The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

Warnin.qi: Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swal-

lowed, consult a doctor immediately.

The lithium battery maintains the clock function, TITLE, CUSTOM function and preset contents

memory; even if the battery pack or AC power adapter is removed.

The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 8~10 months under normal operation from time of

installation.

When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time indicator flashes about 5 seconds

when you set the power switch to CAMERA. In this case, replace the lithium battery with type CR2025.
