Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other program
materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause
condensation to form inside the camcorder.
for example:
- When you move the camcorder from a cold location to a warm
location (e.g. from outside to inside during winter.)
- When you move the camcorder from a cool location to a hot
location (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)
2. If the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the
camcorder for at least two hours in a dry, warm room with the
cassette compartment opened and the battery pack removed.
1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature
(above 60° or 140°F).
For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct
sunlight.
2. Do not let the camcorder get wet.
Keep the camcorder away from rain, sea water, and any other form
of moisture. If the camcorder gets wet, it may get damaged.
Sometimes a malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot be
repaired.

Notes regarding the battery pack
- Make sure that the battery pack is fully
charged before starting to record.
- To preserve battery power, keep your
camcorder turned off when you are not
operating it.
- If your camcorder is in AM mode, and it is
left in STBY mode without being operated for
more than 5 minutes with a tape installed, it
will automatically turn itself off to protect
against unnecessary battery discharge.
- Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
- A brand new battery pack is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the L D when
making a long recordings, because the L D uses up more battery
power.
* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your
local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video
heads regularly. If a square block-shape distorts playback,
or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty.
If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning
cassette.
- Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video
heads.

- Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the D( harge oupled Device).
1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing
towards the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful
when placing the camcorder under sunlight or near a window
exposed to sunlight.
1. The L D display has been
manufactured using high precision
technology. However, there may be
tiny dots (red, blue or green in color)
that appear on the L D display.
These dots are normal and do not
affect the recorded picture in any way.
2. When you use the L D display under direct sunlight or outdoors,
it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly.
If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.
3. Direct sunlight can damage the L D monitor.
- To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that
the hand strap is properly adjusted.
- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you
could damage it.

Precautions regarding the Lithium battery
1. The lithium battery maintains the clock function and user settings;
even if the battery pack or A adapter is removed.
2. The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 6 months under
normal operation from time of installation.
3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time
indicator will display “---” when you set the DATE/TIME to ON.
In this case, replace the lithium battery with a new one(type
R2025).
4. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Warning: Keep the LITHI M BATTERY out of reach of children.
Should a battery be swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
