CAUTIONS
Battery Packs
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. 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 in an environment where temperatures are within
the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical
reaction type battery — cooler temperatures impede
chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent
complete charging.
...store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high
temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten
service life.
...fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6
months when storing the battery pack over a long period
time.
...remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as
some machines use current even when switched off.
NOTES:
● It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging,
or after use.
Temperature Range Specifications
Charging: 10°C to 35°C
Operation: 0°C to 40°C
Storage: –20°C to 50°C
● The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
● Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.
Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read
the following cautions:
● During use
...make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV mark.
...be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes
automatically erases the previously recorded video and
audio signals.
...make sure the cassette is positioned properly when
inserting.
...do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly without
allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and
can result in damage.
...do not open the front tape cover. This exposes the tape to
fingerprints and dust.
● Store cassettes
...away from heaters or other heat sources.
...out of direct sunlight.
...where they won’t be subject to unnecessary shock or
vibration.
...where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic fields
(such as those generated by motors, transformers or
magnets).
...vertically, in their original cases.
Memory Cards
To properly use and store your memory cards, be sure to
read the following cautions:
● During use
...make sure the memory card bears the SD or
MultiMediaCard mark.
...make sure the memory card is positioned properly when
inserting.
● While the memory card is being accessed (during
recording, playback, deletion, initialisation, etc.)
...never unload the memory card and never turn off the
camcorder.
● Store memory cards
...away from heaters or other heat sources.
...out of direct sunlight.
...where they won’t be subject to unnecessary shock or
vibration.
...where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic fields
(such as those generated by motors, transformers or
magnets).
