Precautions With Regard To Safety
CAUTION: Be sure to observe the following.
If the images cannot be seen clearly, stop using this unit.
When it is used continuously for a long time, the battery compartment and the main unit may feel
warm. If this happens, turn off the power and wait for a while before turning the power back on
again.
Do not disassemble or modify this unit.
If this is not observed, fire, electric shocks or problems with operation may occur.
Ask the place of purchase to carry out any repairs and inspection of components.
If it is necessary to remove and reinstall any components in order to carry out cleaning, be sure to
follow the instructions given in the instruction manual at all times.
Do not leave this unit in places which are exposed to high temperatures.
Temperatures can become particularly high (approx. 60 °C or higher) inside vehicles interiors and
trunks during hot summer days. Never leave this unit or its batteries in such places. Heat may cause
the outer case to warped and may damage the internal components, and fire or electric shocks may
occur.
Remove the batteries when cleaning this unit or if not using it for a long period of time.
If you accidentally touch the inside of the unit, electric shocks may occur. In addition, if you leave or
store away the unit for long periods with the batteries still inserted, the insulation may deteriorate or
the batteries may leak, and fire may occur as a result.
If using this unit inside an aeroplane, be sure to follow the instructions of the airline
company.
Electromagnetic waves emitted by this unit may interfere with the operation of aeroplane equipment
If using the unit inside places such as hospitals, be sure to observe the relevant instructions on use
there also.
Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit or stand on it.
Heavy objects may bend the outer case and may damage the internal components, and fire or electric
shocks may occur.
Do not use any batteries other than those specified.
If any batteries other than those specified are used, leaks, overheating or explosions may occur and
injuries could occur as a result.
Do not place cloth or other such objects over this unit while it is in use.
Heat may cause the outer case to become warped and may damage the internal components, and fire
or problems with operation may occur.
Do not let the lens directly toward the sun or other sources of strong light for any length of
time.
Concentrated light may damage internal components and fire may occur.
Avoid using this unit in places with a lot of oil fumes, steam, humidity or dust or in places
with extreme vibration.
* Water or dust inside the unit or strong vibration may damage the internal components, and fire may
occur as a result.

Precautions With Regard To Safety
Notes when using this unit
Avoid using this unit near objects which generate magnetic fields or electromagnetic
waves.
If this unit is placed on top of or is operated near TVs, electromagnetic waves may affect TV reception
and cause distortion in sound or pictures.
Strong magnetic fields which are generated by speakers or large motors may damage recordings or
cause screen distortion.
If this unit is being affected by something which is preventing it from operating correctly, momentarily
remove the batteries and then reinsert them, and then turn the power back on.
Be careful not to use this unit in places where spray insecticides or other volatile
chemicals are present.
Such chemicals may damage the outer case and cause the coating to peel off.
When carrying this unit, be careful not to drop it or knock it against other objects.
If this unit is subjected to any strong shocks, it may break the outer case and cause operating
problems or errors to occur. Do not use solvents such as kerosene, thinner or alcohol to clean the unit.
Remove the batteries before cleaning the unit.
If solvents are used for cleaning, they damage the outer case and cause the coating to peel off.
Wipe the outer case with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, wipe it with a cloth which has
been lightly moistened in a solution of neutral detergent and wrung dry, and then wipe it again with a
soft dry cloth.
If using a chemically-treated cloth to wipe the outer case, be sure to follow the instructions provided
with the cloth.
Be sure to note the following while handling this unit.
If this unit is used continuously for long periods, the temperature of the unit may rise, but this is normal
and is not the sign of a problem with performance or quality.
Turn on the power to operate the unit at least once every six months.
If not using this unit for long periods of time, be sure to remove the batteries.
If you leave the batteries in the battery compartment, a small amount of current will still be consumed
even if the power is turned off. If the unit is left like this, the batteries will eventually become spent, and
the rechargeable batteries may become over-discharged and no longer work correctly once they have
been recharged. Furthermore, the batteries may leak and cause damage to the unit.
The batteries may also become self-discharged when left for long periods, so either replace them with
new ones or recharge them before use.
Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types.
