BEFORE USE
Operating precautions
Do not allow any water to get into the
camera-recorder when using it in the rain or
snow or at the beach.
O Failure to heed this caution will cause the
camera-recorder or cassette to malfunction
(and may result in irreparable damage).
Keep the camera-recorder away from
equipment (such as TV sets and video game
machines) that generate magnetic fields.
O Using the camera-recorder on top of or near
a TV set may cause distortion in the images
and/or sound due to the electromagnetic
waves that the set emits.
O The powerful magnetic fields generated by
speakers or large motors may damage your
tape recordings or distort the images.
O The electromagnetic waves emitted from a
microcomputer will adversely affect the
camera-recorder, causing the images and/or
sound to be distorted.
O If the camera-recorder is so adversely
affected by products that generate magnetic
fields that it no longer operates properly, turn
it off and remove the battery or unplug the
AC adapter from the power outlet. Then
install the battery again or re-connect the AC
adapter. After this, turn the camera-recorder
back on.
Do not use the camera-recorder near radio
transmitters or high-voltage equipment.
O Using the camera-recorder near a radio
transmitter or high-voltage equipment may
adversely affect the recorded images and/or
sound.
Do not allow any sand or dust to get into the
camera-recorder when using it at the beach
and other similar places.
O Sand and dust can damage the camera-
recorder and cassette. (Be especially careful
when inserting or removing the cassettes.)
AC adapter and battery
O If the battery has become extremely hot or
cold or if it has not been used for a long time
and has no charge, the CHARGE lamp will
blink several times and charging will start
automatically.
O If the CHARGE lamp continues to blink even
when the battery temperature is normal, it
may mean that something is wrong with the
battery or AC adapter. Consult your dealer.
O When the battery is warm, it will take longer
to charge than normal.
O When the AC adapter is used near a radio,
the sound from the radio may be distorted.
Keep the AC adapter at least a yard away
from the radio.
O Noise may be heard while the AC adapter is
being used; however, this is not a sign of
malfunctioning.
Do not drop the camera-recorder while
carrying it.
O Strong impact may damage the camera-
recorder to the extent that it will no longer
operate properly.
O When carrying the camera-recorder around,
use the hand strap, handle or shoulder strap,
and remember to handle it carefully.
Do not expose the camera-recorder to insect
sprays or volatile substances.
O Contact with insect sprays or volatile
substances may distort the shape of the
camera-recorder and/or cause its finish to
peel off.
O Do not leave the camera-recorder in contact
with rubber or PVC products for extended
periods of time.
After use, always remove the cassette and
remove the battery or unplug the AC cord
from the power outlet.
O If the cassette is left inside the camera-
recorder, the tape may become slack or
damaged.
O Leaving the battery on the camera-recorder
for an extended period may cause the battery
voltage to drop excessively, and it may not
be possible to re-use it even after charging it.
