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 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 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
1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature
(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.

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 camcorder is in CAMERA mode, and it
is left in STBY mode without being operated
for more than 5 minutes with a tape installed, it
will automatically turn itself off to protect
against unnecessary battery discharge.
- Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
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.
- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when making
a long recordings, because the LCD uses up more battery power.

* 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
■
The battery pack should be recharged in an environment of between
32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
■
The battery pack should never be charged in a room temperature that is
below 32°F (0°C).
■
The life and capacity of the battery pack will be reduced if it is used in
temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or left in temperatures above 104°F
(40°C) for a long period, even when it is fully recharged.
■
Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (fire or flames, for
example).
■
Do not disassemble, process, pressure, or heat the Battery Pack.
■
Do not allow the + and - terminals of the battery pack to be shortcircuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce fire and
overheating.

✤ Please refer to the table on page 25 for approximate continuous
recording times.
✤ The recording time is affected by environmental temperature and
conditions.
The recording time becomes very short in a cold environment.
The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are
measured using a fully charged battery pack at 77°F(25°C).
As the environmental temperature and conditions may differ when you
actually use the camcorder, the remaining battery time may not be the
same as the approximate continuous recording times given in these
instructions.
Tips for Battery Identification
A charge mark is provided on the battery pack to help you
remember whether it has been charged or not.
Two colours are provided (red and grey)-you may choose
which one indicates charged and which indicates
discharged.
