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.

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 programmes, movie video tapes, DVD titles, films and other programme 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.

1. The LCD monitor has been manufactured using the high precision technology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in colour) that appear on the LCD monitor. These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way.

2. When you use the LCD monitor under direct sunlight or outdoors, it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly.

3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.

✤ Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.

Direct sunlight can damage the CCD (Charge Coupled Device, the imaging sensor).

Notes Regarding the Battery Pack

✤ 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.

✤ Do not attempt to service the CAM yourself. ✤ Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. ✤ Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Precautions Regarding Service

Precautions Regarding Replacement Parts

✤ When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer and having the same characteristics as the original part.

✤ Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

Maintain the Battery Pack

✤ 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.

✤ Do not put the battery pack near any heat sources (fire or flames, for example). ✤ Do not disassemble, process, press or heat the Battery Pack. ✤ Do not allow the + and - terminals of the battery pack to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation,

induce fire and overheating.

✤ Prepare an extra battery if you use the CAM outdoors. ✤ Contact the Samsung service centre to purchase new battery pack. ✤ If you zoom in or out, the recording time becomes shorter.

✤ When you eject the battery pack from the CAM, hold the battery pack to prevent it dropping to the floor.

If you close the LCD screen, it switches off automatically. The continuous recording time given in the table below is approximations. Actual recording time depends on usage.

✤ The recording time and capacity is an approximation. ✤ You can format the Memory Stick on the CAM. (Refer to page 99) ✤ Do not format the Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro on the PC. ✤ The recording time and the number of images shown are maximum figures based on using one function.

In actual use, using more than one function will reduce the capacity of each.

✤ If you set the light, you can take fewer photos than mentioned number of image. ✤ If you format the Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro, use the Memory Stick Formatter in the supplied

software CD.

✤ The compressibility is changed automatically depending on the recorded images and the maximum recording time and

capacity can be changed in ‘Video Record’.

✤ You may be not able to record or play normal video files if you use the Memory Stick over 1GB capacity. ✤ You can record video files with size of 720/Normal, 352/Fine and 352/Normal in the Memory Stick but

the quality is not guaranteed.

✤ If you record video files with the quality of Normal(352/720) in the internal memory, Memory Stick or

Memory Stick Pro, the recording time becomes longer but the video may have lower quality than other quality level.

✤ The recording time and capacity may vary by generating the bad sector when you record video files

in the Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro.
