Safety instructions
General
• This unit is not intended for use by people (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or for those
without experience and/or knowledge, unless they are super-
vised by a person responsible for their safety or they have been
instructed on its use. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children.
DANGER!
Keep the plastic packaging out of reach for chil-
dren to avoid danger of suffocation!
Preventing electric shocks
• Never open the camcorder casing or the charger cradle except
to insert the battery.
• Connect the charger cradle to a professionally installed 230 V ~
50 Hz mains socket.
• To remove the mains cable quickly and easily from the mains in
an emergency, the socket must be easily accessible and close to
the appliance.
• Do not bend or crush the mains cable.
• Use only the charger cable supplied.
• Take measures to prevent moisture or liquid from penetrating
the camcorder or the charger cradle.
• Never touch the charger cradle with wet hands.
• Never use the charger cradle if the mains cable is damaged.
• To avoid any danger, if the charger cradle or its mains cable are
damaged then it must only be replaced by a charger cradle of
the same type. Please contact the service centre if this is the
case.

• Switch the camcorder off immediately if it malfunctions.
• Do not allow the camcorder or charger cradle to come into
contact with rain or be splashed by water.
• Do not place containers containing liquid, e.g. vases, on the
appliance, the charger cradle or near to these and protect all
parts of the device from rain and water. The container may tip
over and the liquid may impair the electrical safety of the prod-
uct.
Risk of explosion
• Never expose batteries or rechargeable batteries to excessive
heat (such as direct sunlight, fire or similar).
• Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• Never short-circuit any (rechargeable) batteries.
• Do not dismantle (rechargeable) batteries.
DANGER!
There is a risk of explosion if rechargeable batter-
ies are replaced incorrectly. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type.
Preventing fire hazards
• Always uncoil the entire length of the mains cable.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation and never cover the charg-
er cradle.
• Do not place naked flames such as lit candles on or near the
unit.
Risk of chemical burns
• If the battery is depleted, remove it from the device immediate-
ly. There is an increased risk of leakage. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes and mucous membranes. If these areas come into contact
with battery acid, rinse them immediately with plenty of clean
water and contact a doctor immediately.

Preventing damage to the eyes
• Do not use the LED light close to anyone’s eyes.
• Always maintain a minimum distance of one metre when using
the LED light, especially with small children.
Preventing damage to the camcorder
• If the battery is leaking, remove it from the camcorder immedi-
ately. Clean the contacts before inserting a new battery.
• Use only the lithium-ion battery supplied.
• Before inserting the battery, check that the contacts in the cam-
corder and on the batteries are clean. Clean the battery con-
nections if necessary with a clean, dry cloth or an eraser.
• Do not touch the lens or lens mounting.
Preventing damage to the battery
• Never insert the battery the wrong way round. Always ensure
the correct polarity at the +/- terminals.
• Never allow the battery to come into contact with liquids.
• Direct, intense heat can damage the battery. Therefore, do not
expose the camcorder to any sources of direct heat.
• If the camcorder is not going to be used for long periods, re-
move the battery.
• At low temperatures the capacity of the battery can drop sig-
nificantly due to the reduced speed of the chemical reactions.
When recording in cold weather keep a second battery pack in
reserve in a warm place (e.g. trouser pocket).
Preventing breakages
• Do not drop the camcorder.
• Place the strap around your wrist when carrying the camcord-
er.
