Safety instructions for using 3D devices
❖If you or any viewer experiences the following symptoms or
any other discomfort from viewing 3D video images, stop
viewing and contact your health care provider: Convulsions,
Eye or muscle twitching, Loss of awareness, Altered vision,
Involuntary movements, Disorientation, Eye Strain, Nausea/
Vomiting, Dizziness, Headaches, Fatigue.
❖Some viewers may experience a seizure or blackout when
exposed to certain flashing images or lights contained in
certain 3D television pictures or video games. Anyone who has
had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an
epileptic condition, or has a family history of epilepsy, should
contact a health care provider before using the 3D function.
❖If you feel eye fatigue or other discomfort from viewing 3D
video images, stop viewing and take a rest until the condition is
eliminated.
❖Due to the possible impact on vision development, viewers of
3D video images should be age 6 or above. Children and
teenagers may be more susceptible to health issues associated
with viewing in 3D and should be closely supervised to avoid
prolonged viewing without rest.
❖Avoid use of the 3D function when under the influence of
alcohol.
❖Watching the screen while sitting too close for an extended
period of time may cause eye strain. Consult your display
manual to determine the ideal viewing distance.

Loading the battery
Before using the camcorder, you will need to remove the protective
film from the battery. To do so, remove the battery, then remove the
film, and replace the battery as shown below.
The battery comes pre-installed in the camcorder, however, you
must remove the protective film on the battery before use.
To properly connect the battery:

Charge your battery
You must use the supplied AC adaptor or the USB cable to charge
your camcorder before use. Turn off the camcorder. A blinking light
indicates active charging, and a solid light indicates that charging is
complete. In AC charging mode, the light will turn off
automatically after the battery is fully charged. The full charge time
is approximately 4 hours.
(Sample Illustration) Charging the battery
Handling of the battery
❖ Never attempt to dispose of a battery by burning or by throwing
❖ Never attempt to disassemble, tamper with or repair a battery.
❖ Never short-circuit the battery by either accidentally or
it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus
(e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery to explode
and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause
serious injury.
The battery could overheat and ignite. Leakage of the caustic
alkaline solution or other electrolytic substances could cause
fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
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 and product. Always
wrap the battery 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, to prevent accidental short-circuiting which could
result in serious injury.
Getting Started
Loading the battery
❖ Never drive a nail or any other sharp object into the battery, hit
battery 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 by a method other than as instructed.
Doing so could cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in
serious injury.
❖ Never connect the battery to a plug socket or a car cigarette plug
socket. The battery could rupture or ignite causing a fire or
explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
❖ Never allow a battery to become wet. A wet battery will overheat
or ignite causing rupture or fire, possibly resulting in death or
serious injury.
❖ Never store a battery in an area of high humidity. This could
cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
❖ Never expose a battery to abnormal shock, vibration or pressure.
Never use a battery which has been exposed to abnormal shock
even if the appearance is normal. The battery’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 to heat, and never store it or use it near a
heat source. The battery could ignite or explode when heated or
burned, possibly resulting in death or serious injury. Subjecting
a battery to heat could also cause caustic liquid to leak. It can
also cause failure, malfunction, or loss of stored data.
Use of correct battery
❖ Always use the battery supplied. Other batteries have different
voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming batteries
could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly resulting
in serious injury.

Loading the battery
Battery safety
❖ Never allow caustic electrolyte fluid leaked from the battery to
contact your eyes, body or clothing.
Use appropriate protective gloves when handling a damaged
battery.
If caustic electrolyte fluid from the battery 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 warning indicators
❖ Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power
cable/cord plug from the plug socket and stop using the battery
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
from the product. In some instances, you might have to wait for
the product to cool down before removing the battery, 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.
Getting Started
Loading the battery
Disposal of used batteries
❖ Always dispose of used batteries 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
❖ When installing a battery or before moving the product, always
make sure the battery is inserted correctly and securely. If the
battery falls out, while you are carrying the product, you could
be injured or the battery could be damaged.
Do not use an impaired or exhausted battery
❖ Never continue to use a battery after its recharging capability has
become impaired, or after the warning message indicating that
the battery power is exhausted has been displayed.
Continued use of an exhausted or impaired battery could result
in the loss of data or damage to the product.
21
NOTE
Handling of the battery
❖ Never attempt to install batteries in reverse polarity.
❖ Make sure the battery is securely installed in the product before
attempting to charge the battery.
❖ Improper installation could generate smoke or fire, or cause the
battery to rupture.
22
Getting Started
Inserting and removing an SD™ Card
❖ The battery is a lithium ion battery, 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 only in an ambient temperature between 32
and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 and 40 degrees Celsius).
Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak, battery
performance might deteriorate and the battery life might be
shortened.
❖ Never install or remove the battery without first turning off the
power and disconnecting the AC adaptor.
