Handling of the battery pack
❖ Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by
throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating
apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery pack
to explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which may
possibly cause serious injury.
❖ Never attempt to disassemble, tamper with or repair a battery
pack. The battery pack could overheat and ignite. Leakage of the
caustic alkaline solution or other electrolytic substances could
cause fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
❖ Never short-circuit the battery pack by either accidentally or
intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact with
another conductive object. This could cause serious injury or a
fire, and could also damage the battery pack and product.
Always wrap the battery pack in plastic (or place it in a plastic
bag) whenever transporting it, to avoid exposing the terminals to
another conductive object which could result in serious injury.
Always cover the metal terminals with insulating tape when
disposing of the battery pack, to prevent accidental shortcircuiting which could result in serious injury.

16
Getting Started
Loading the battery
❖ Never drive a nail or any other sharp object into the battery pack,
hit battery pack with a hammer or other object or step on it.
Doing so could cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in
serious injury.
❖ Never charge the battery pack by a method other than as
instructed. Doing so could cause a fire or explosion possibly
resulting in serious injury.
❖ Never connect the battery pack to a plug socket or a car cigarette
plug socket. The battery pack could rupture or ignite causing a
fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
❖ Never allow a battery pack to become wet. A wet battery pack will
overheat or ignite causing rupture or fire, possibly resulting in
death or serious injury.
❖ Never store a battery pack in an area of high humidity. This could
cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
❖ Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or
pressure. Never use a battery pack which has been exposed to
abnormal shock even if the appearance is normal. The battery
pack’s internal protective device could fail, causing it to overheat
or ignite resulting in caustic liquid leakage, or explosion or fire,
possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
❖ Never subject a battery pack to heat, and never store it or use it
near a heat source. The battery pack could ignite or explode
when heated or burned, possibly resulting in death or serious
injury. Subjecting a battery pack to heat could also cause caustic
liquid to leak. It can also cause failure, malfunction, or loss of
stored data.
Use of correct battery pack
❖ Always use the battery pack supplied. Other battery packs have
different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming
battery packs could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
Getting Started
Loading the battery
Battery safety
❖ Never allow caustic electrolyte fluid leaked from the battery pack
to contact your eyes, body or clothing.
Use appropriate protective gloves when handling a damaged
battery.
If caustic electrolyte fluid from the battery pack should contact
your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with large amounts of
running water and obtain prompt medical attention, to help
prevent permanent eye damage.
If electrolyte fluid should contact any part of your body,
immediately wash it off under running water to help prevent skin
rashes.
If electrolyte fluid should contact your clothes, promptly remove
them to help prevent the electrolyte fluid from contacting your
body, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Battery pack warning indicators
❖ Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power
cable/cord plug from the plug socket and stop using the battery
pack if you observe any of the following conditions:
❖ Offensive or unusual odor
❖ Excessive heat
❖ Discoloration
❖ Deformation, cracks or leaks
❖ Smoke
❖ Other unusual event during use, such as abnormal sound
In such an event, carefully and immediately remove the battery
pack from the product. In some instances, you might have to
wait for the product to cool down before removing the battery
pack, in order to avoid any possible minor injury due to heat
exposure. Do not turn on the product’s power again until an
authorized Toshiba service provider has checked it for safety.
Continued use could cause a fire or rupture possibly resulting in
serious injury or product failure including but not limited to the
loss of data.

NOTE
Getting Started
Loading the battery
Disposal of used battery packs
❖ Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as
cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid
a possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so
could possibly result in serious injury.
Inserting the battery pack
❖ When installing a battery pack or before moving the product,
always make sure the battery pack is inserted correctly and
securely. If the battery falls out, while you are carrying the
product, you could be injured or the battery pack could be
damaged.
Do not use an impaired or exhausted battery pack
❖ Never continue to use a battery pack after its recharging
capability has become impaired, or after the warning message
indicating that the battery pack power is exhausted has been
displayed.
Continued use of an exhausted or impaired battery pack could
result in the loss of data or damage to the product.
Handling of the battery pack
❖ Never attempt to install batteries in reverse polarity.
❖ Make sure the battery is securely installed in the product before
attempting to charge the battery pack.
❖ Improper installation could generate smoke or fire, or cause the
battery pack to rupture.

NOTE
NOTE
Inserting and removing an SD™ Card (optional)
❖ The battery pack is lithium ion batteries, which can explode if not
replaced, used, handled or disposed of properly. Dispose of the
battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only
batteries recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
❖ Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between
5 and 35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution
might leak, battery pack performance might deteriorate and the
battery life might be shortened.
❖ Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off
the power and disconnecting the AC adaptor.
Inserting and removing an SD™ Card (optional)
An SD™ Card must be purchased separately.
Your camcorder comes with internal memory that allows you to
store photos and videos. You can expand the memory capacity by
using an optional SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card.
1Open the SD™ Card cover.
2Insert the SD™ Card into the slot until it locks into place, as
shown below.
