Notices and Safety Instructions

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/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.

14. 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.

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.

16. OVERLOADING:

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. REPLACEMENT PARTS:

Notices and Safety Precautions

Precautions on the CAM Care

Do not place your device in a wet place. Moisture and water may cause the device to malfunction. 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. Particular care should be observed if photographing infants, when the flash should be no less than 3 feet from your subject.

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 device 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 benzene, 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.

✤ Please note the following precautions for use: ✤ Please keep this device in a safe place. The device contains a lens that can be damaged by shock.

Keep away from the reach of the children.

ENGLISH

Notices and Safety Precautions

1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the CAM.

For Example:

✤ Entering or leaving a heated place on a cold day might cause condensation inside the product. ✤ To prevent condensation, place the product in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to a sudden change of

temperature.

✤ Television programs, movie video tapes, DVD titles, films and other program materials may be copyrighted.

Unauthorized recording of copyrighted materials may infringe on the rights of the Copyright owners and is contrary to copyright laws.

✤ All the trade names and registered trademarks mentioned in this manual or other documentation provided with your

Samsung product are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective holders.

Notes Regarding the CAM

Notes Regarding COPYRIGHT

Notes Regarding Moisture Condensation

1. Do not leave the CAM exposed to high temperature (above 60°C or 140°F).

For example, in a parked closed car in summer or exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Do not let the CAM get wet. Keep the CAM away from rain, salt water, or any other form of moisture.

The CAM will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high levels of moisture.

Notes Regarding the Battery Pack

✤ It is recommended to use original battery pack that is available at SAMSUNG service center. ✤ Make sure the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record. ✤ To preserve battery power, keep the CAM turned off when you are not operating it. ✤ If your device 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 is attached firmly in place. ✤ The new battery pack provided with the product is not charged.

Before using the battery pack, you need to fully charge it.

✤ Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage it. ✤ Fully discharging a Lithium Polymer battery damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when

fully discharged.

✤ To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge remains. ✤ Clean the terminal to remove foreign substance before inserting the battery pack.

Notes Regarding a Trademark

✤ The logos regarding DivX, DivX Licensed are the trademark of DivX, Network, Inc and can be used after contracting

license.

✳

When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. Batteries must be disposed of as chemical waste.

✳

Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the CAM.
