Warning:
Notice concerning separation from the mains
The supplied charger consumes electrical energy even if there is no
battery inserted. You should therefore disconnect the charger from the
wall outlet when not using it. In order to completely disconnect the charger
from the mains, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. The wall outlet
where the device is connected must be easy to access so that the power
cord can be pulled out quickly in case of emergency. Unplug the power
cord from the mains when you will not be using it for a long while (e.g.
when going on holiday) in order to avoid the danger of fire. Do not hold the
power cord with wet hands.
The device is not for use in rooms with a high temperature or humidity and
must be kept free of dust. Position the device on a stable, flat surface and
do not place any objects on the device.

Always make sure that:
no direct heat sources (e.g. heating) affect the device;
no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the device;
contact with spray and dripping water and abrasive liquids must be
avoided and the device should never be operated near water, and it
must especially never be immersed (do not place any objects filled with
liquids such as vases or drinks near the device);
do not place any fire sources (e.g. burning candles) on or near the

the device should not be subject to excessive shock and vibrations.
Children and Persons with Disabilities
Do not allow children or persons with disabilities to use electrical devices
when not under supervision. They may not comprehend the presence of
potential risks. Rechargeable batteries and small parts represent potential
choking hazards. Keep batteries out of reach of children. If a rechargeable
battery is swallowed, seek medical help immediately. Keep all packaging
away from children as this may cause suffocation.
Charger and Rechargeable Battery
Insert the rechargeable battery with the correct polarity. Never throw a
rechargeable battery into fire. Remove the rechargeable battery when the
device is not to be used for a long time.
Danger of Explosion!
Improper use may cause explosions and danger to life. Only replace the
rechargeable battery with an equivalent or a type recommended by the

SCAZ 5.00 A1 Important Notice
English - 9
manufacturer. Never replace any batteries in an explosion-sensitive
environment. While inserting or removing the batteries a spark may be
produced causing an explosion. Explosion-sensitive areas will normally
(but not always) be labelled. These include fuel storage areas such as
below deck on a boat, fuel line or tank areas, environments where the air
contains inflammable substances (e.g. cereals, dust or metal powder, etc.)
and any areas where you should normally switch off your car engine.
Respect the environment. Old rechargeable batteries do not belong in with
domestic waste. They must be handed in to a collection point for waste
batteries.
Cables
Always hold cables by the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never
hold the power cord with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Never place the device, heavy objects or furniture on the
cable and take care that the cord does not become trapped, especially at
the plug and sockets. Never tie knots in the cable and do not tie it together
with other cables. All cables should be positioned so that nobody can trip
over them or be obstructed by them. A damaged power cord can cause a
fire or an electric shock. Inspect the power cord from time to time. Do not
use an adapter plug or extension cable that does not meet the required
safety standards.

Getting Started
The camcorder is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (NP120) battery.
On delivery, the battery is not charged. Please charge the battery before
first use of the device.
To operate the camera, use only the rechargeable
Lithium-Ion battery NP120.
Charging the Battery by Using the Charger
Insert the rechargeable battery in the charger cradle Scope DJ04V20500A
so that the contacts [+] and [-] correspond to the rechargeable battery and
charging tray markings.

Introduction SCAZ 5.00 A1
18 -English
Make sure that the battery clicks into place on the charger. Next connect
the power cord to the charger and plug the power cord to a wall outlet.
Remove the rechargeable battery from the camera when
the device is not to be used for a long time.
During charging, the rechargeable battery and charging
device will become warm. This is not a malfunction.
The status indicator of the charging cradle will light orange whilst the
battery is charging. When the charging process is completed, the status
indicator will light green. You can then insert the rechargeable battery into
the camcorder. Depending on the charge level, the charging cycle can
take up to 3 hours.
If, after inserting the rechargeable battery, the indicator
remains green, this means the rechargeable battery is
already charged or it is not correctly inserted. In this case,
check the polarity.
