DV-5000HD Important Safety Instructions
Children
Electrical appliances do not belong in the hands of children. Do not allow
children to use electrical devices when not under supervision. Children
may not comprehend the presence of potential risks. Rechargeable
batteries and small parts represent potential choking hazards. Keep
batteries out of reach of children. If a rechargeable battery is swallowed,
seek medical help immediately. Keep all packaging away from children as
this can cause suffocation.
Charger and Rechargeable Battery
Insert the rechargeable battery with the correct polarity. Never throw a
rechargeable battery into fire. Remove the rechargeable battery when the
device is not to be used for a long time.
Danger of Explosion!
Non-intended use may cause explosion and danger to life. Only replace
the rechargeable battery with an equivalent or a type recommended by the
manufacturer. Never replace any batteries in an explosion-sensitive
environment. While inserting or removing the batteries a spark may be
produced causing an explosion. Explosion-sensitive areas will normally
(but not always) be labelled. These include any fuel storage areas such as
below deck on a boat, fuel line or tank areas, environments where the air
contains inflammable substances (e.g. cereals, metal dust or powder, etc.)
and any areas where you should normally switch off your car engine.
Respect the environment. Old rechargeable batteries do not belong in with
domestic waste. They must be handed in to a collection point for old
batteries.

Important Safety Instructions DV-5000HD
Cables
Always hold cables by the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never
hold the power cord with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Never place the device, heavy objects or furniture on the
cable and take care that the cord does not become trapped, especially at
the plug and sockets. Never make knots in the cable and do not tie it
together with other cords. All cables should be positioned so that nobody
can trip over them or be obstructed by them. A damaged power cord can
cause a fire or an electric shock. Inspect the power cord from time to time.
Do not use any adapter plug or extension cable that does not meet the
required safety standards.
Maintenance and Care
Servicing is required when this device has been damaged in any way, for
example, when the charger or the housing of the DV-5000HD is damaged,
when liquid or objects have entered the device, when the product has
been exposed to rain or moisture, when the product does not work
normally or if the product has been dropped. If you notice any smoke,
unusual noise or strange smells, switch off the device immediately and pull
the power adapter out from the power supply. In this case the device
should not be used further and should be inspected by authorized service
personnel. Please contact qualified personnel when servicing is needed.

contacts [+] and [-] on the rechargeable battery and charger markings
match. Next connect the power cord to the charger and plug the power
cord to a wall outlet.
To operate the camera, only use the rechargeable LithiumIon battery PAC NP60.
Remove the rechargeable battery from the camera when
the device is not to be used for a long time.
During charging, the rechargeable battery and charging
device will become warm. This is not a malfunction.

DV-5000HD Introduction
The status indicator of the charging cradle will light orange whilst the
battery is charging. When the charging process is completed, the status
indicator will light green. You can then insert the rechargeable battery into
the camcorder. Depending on the charge level, the charging cycle can
take up to 2 hours.
If, after inserting the rechargeable battery, the indicator
remains green, this means the rechargeable battery is
already charged or it is not correctly inserted. In this case,
check the polarity.
Inserting the Battery
When the battery is fully charged, insert it into the
camcorder as below. To do this, open the battery
compartment by gently pushing on the marking and
sliding it downwards.
Next insert the rechargeable battery with the correct polarity (see the
