a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on
all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on
both sides, on top and at the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes.
(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper,
or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
When discarding batteries, environmental
problems must be considered and the local rules
or laws governing the disposal of these batteries
must be followed strictly.

SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE
USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured
to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to
obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt
to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the
mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between
pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw
the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about
the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in
any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged
in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment
and make sure that your family knows how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm
or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos
or radios so that you are distracted from the
requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch
television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such
use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for
example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating
will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with
wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit
the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the
fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
•
NEVER let anyone especially children push
anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the
case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
•
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment
of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Cautions
Battery Pack
The supplied battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery. Before using
the supplied battery pack or an
optional battery pack, be sure
to read the following cautions:
•To avoid hazards
... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away
from metallic objects when not in use. When
transporting, make sure the provided battery
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap
is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
... do not modify or disassemble.
... do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the
battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
•To prevent damage and prolong service life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge within the temperature range of 10°C
to 35°C. Cooler temperatures
require longer charging time, or in some cases
stop charging at all.
Warmer temperatures prevent complete
charging, or in some cases stop charging at all.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
... keep a 30% battery level (
X ) if the battery pack
is not to be used for a long period of time.
In addition, fully charge and then fully discharge
the battery pack every 6 months, then continue
to store it at a 30% battery level (
X ).
... remove from charger or powered unit when not
in use, as some machines use current even
when switched off.
... do not drop or subject to strong impact.
Recording Medium
•Be sure to follow the guidelines below
to prevent corruption or damage to your
recorded data.
•Do not bend or drop the recording medium,
or subject it to strong pressure, jolts or
vibrations.
•Do not splash the recording medium with water.
•Do not use, replace, or store the recording
medium in locations that are exposed to
strong static electricity or electrical noise.
•Do not turn off the camcorder power or
remove the battery or AC adapter during
shooting, playback, or when otherwise
accessing the recording medium.
•Do not bring the recording medium near
objects that have a strong magnetic field or
that emit strong electromagnetic waves.
•Do not store the recording medium in
