Notices and Safety Precautions

Precautions when using the Memory Camcorder

✤ 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.

■

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 it 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.

■

To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains plug

shall be readily operable.

■

Using the earphone or headphone for an extended time can cause a serious damage to your hearing.

- If you are exposed to a sound in higher than 85db for an extended time, you will be adversely affected on your hearing. The higher the sound is, the more seriously damaged your hearing is (an ordinary conversation is made in 50 to 60 db and the noise level on the road is approximately 80 db).

- You are strongly advised to set the volume level to medium (the medium level is usually less than 2/3 of the maximum).

■

If you feel a ringing in the ear(s), lower the volume or stop using the earphone or headphone.

■

Do not use the earphone while you are driving a bicycle, automobile or motorcycle.

- Otherwise it can cause a serious accident and, furthermore, it is prohibited by the law in some areas.

- Using the earphone on the way, in particular, on the crosswalk can lead to a serious accident.

■

For your safety, make sure the earphone cable should not get in the way of your arm or other surrounding objects while

you are taking exercise or a walk.

[ Notes ]

✤ The recording time and capacity is an approximation. ✤ The recording times shown are maximum figures based on using one function.

In actual use, using more than one function will reduce the capacity of each. ✤ The compressibility is changed automatically depending on the recorded images. The maximum recording time and capacity can be changed in ‘Movie Record’.

✤ The Memory Camcorder supports 2GB memory cards and lower. Any card above 2GB may not record or play properly. ✤ If you record movie files at Normal(352/720) quality to the internal memory or a memory card, the recording time increases

but the movie may have lower quality than other levels. ✤ The recording time and capacity may vary if a bad sector(section) is generated when you record movie files

to a memory card.
