Do’s and Don’ts
Camcorder
Do not carry the camcorder by the
LCD panel. Be careful when closing
the LCD panel.
Do not leave the camcorder in places
subject to high temperatures (like the
inside of a car under direct sunlight),
or high humidity.
Do not use the camcorder near strong
electromagnetic fields such as above
TVs, near plasma TVs or mobile
phones.
Do not point the lens or viewfinder at
strong light sources. Do not leave the
camcorder pointed at a bright
subject.
Do not use or store the camcorder in
dusty or sandy places. The
camcorder is not waterproof – avoid
also water, mud or salt. If any of the
above should get into the camcorder
it may damage the camcorder and/or
the lens.
Be careful of heat generated by
lighting equipment.
Do not disassemble the camcorder. If
the camcorder does not function
properly, consult qualified service
personnel.
Handle the camcorder with care. Do
not subject the camcorder to shocks
or vibration as this may cause
damage.
Battery Pack
Charged battery packs continue to
discharge naturally. Therefore, charge
them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
Attach the terminal cover whenever a
battery pack is not in use. Contact
with metallic objects may cause a
short circuit and damage the battery
pack.
Dirty terminals may cause a poor
contact between the battery pack
and the camcorder. Wipe the
terminals with a soft cloth.
Since storing a charged battery pack
for a long time (about 1 year) can
shorten its lifecycle or affect
performance, we recommend to
discharge the battery pack fully and
to store it in a dry place at
temperatures no higher than 30 °C
(86 °F). If you do not use the battery
pack for long periods, charge and
discharge it fully at least once a year.
If you have more than one battery
pack, perform these precautions at
the same time for all battery packs.
Handling Precautions
DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
Keep it away from fire (or it might
explode).
Do not expose the battery pack to
temperature higher than 60 °C
(140 °F). Do not leave it near a
heater or inside a car in hot weather.
Do not try to disassemble or modify
it.
Do not drop or knock it.
Do not get it wet.
