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 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.

Battery Level Display
The battery level display indicates the amount of power remaining in the Battery pack.
a. Fully charged
b. 20~40% used
c. 40~80% used
d. 80~95% used
e. Completely used (Blinking)
(The Camcorder will turn off soon. Change the battery as soon as possible)
ENGLISH
[ 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.
(Blinking)
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.
