Storage Precautions
Before storing the video camera, remove both the
cassette and battery.
Store all of these items in a place with low humidity
and relatively constant temperature.
[Recommended temperature range: 15
°C to 25°C]
[Recommended relative humidity: 40% to 60%]
Video camera
• Wrap the video camera in a soft cloth to keep the
dust off.
Battery
• The battery life is shortened in places with
extreme temperatures.
• Storing the battery in a location with oily vapors or
high dust concentrations may corrode the
terminals or cause other damage, leading to
malfunction.
• Keep metal objects (such as necklaces and
hair pins) away form the terminals. Short-
circuiting may occur across the terminals,
causing the battery to heat up, and you may
seriously burn yourself if you touch the
battery in this state.
• Discharge the battery before storing it. When
storing it for an extended time, charge it at least
once a year, use up its charge in the camera-
recorder, and then store it again.
Cassette Tapes
• Always rewind your tapes to the beginning before
storing them. They will become slack if left
stopped part way through for six months or more
(the time frame depends on the storage
conditions). Make sure that all of your tapes are
rewound to the beginning before storage.
• Always put your tapes back into their original
cases before storing them. Dust, direct sunlight
(ultraviolet rays) or humidity may damage the
tapes. Dust contains particles of hard minerals.
These particles could burrow into the cassettes,
causing damage to the video camera’s heads or
other parts. Make sure that all of your tapes are
stored in the cases.
• Fast forward and rewind tapes once every six
months. If tapes are left wound up for more than a
year, the expansion and contraction caused by
changes in temperature and humidity may distort
the tapes or make them stick to each other.
• Do not place substances or equipment with
strong magnetic fields near cassettes.
• Tapes are surfaced with microscopically small
magnetic particles where the signals are
recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys and other
products may have an unexpectedly strong
magnetic field and this may cause data loss or
generate noise on the screen and in the sound.
