When you use your Palmcorder on a beach or
similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get
into the Palmcorder.
≥Sand or dust may damage the Palmcorder or
Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting
and removing the Cassette.)
Do not spray insecticides or volatile
chemicals onto the Palmcorder.
≥If the Palmcorder is sprayed with such
chemicals, the camera body may be deformed
and the surface finish may peel off.
≥Do not keep rubber or plastic products in
contact with the Palmcorder for a long period of
time.
Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for
cleaning the Palmcorder.
≥The Palmcorder body may be deformed and the
surface finish may peel off.
≥Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out
the AC Cable from the AC Jack.
≥Wipe the Palmcorder with a soft dry cloth. To
remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is
soaked in a detergent diluted with water and
afterwards finish wiping with a dry cloth.
≥For storing or transporting the Palmcorder,
place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so
as to prevent the coating on the camera body
from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and
detach the Battery from the Palmcorder or
pull out the AC Cable from AC Jack.
≥If the Cassette is left in the Palmcorder, the tape
sags and deteriorates.
≥If the Battery is left on the Palmcorder for a long
time, the voltage drops excessively, and the
Battery will not function even after it is
recharged.
ª About AC Adaptor
≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely
high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp
may continue flashing, and the Battery may not
be charged. After the temperature of the Battery
has decreased or increased sufficiently,
charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE]
Lamp continues to flash even after the Battery
temperature has decreased or increased
sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be
faulty. In this case, please contact a dealer.
≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer
time than normal.
≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC
Adaptor 3 feet (1 meter) or more away from
radio.
≥When using the AC Adaptor, it may generate
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from
the AC jack. (If they are left connected, a minute
amount of current is consumed.)
≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and
Battery always clean.
ª Condensation
If you turn the Palmcorder on when condensation
occurs on the head or the tape, Condensation
Indication [3 DEW] (yellow or red) blinks on the
Viewfinder or the LCD monitor and the messages
[DEW DETECT] or [EJECT TAPE] (only when the
tape is inserted) appear. In this case, follow the
procedure below.
Blinking in yellow:
Dew is slightly adhering on the head or the tape.
Blinking in red:
Dew is adhering on the head or the tape.
1 Remove the tape if it is inserted.
≥It takes about 20 seconds to open the
Cassette Holder. This is not a malfunction.
2 Leave the Palmcorder with the Cassette
Compartment Cover closed to cool or warm
it to the ambient temperature.
When [3 DEW] blinks in yellow
≥You cannot use the Tape Recording/
Playback Mode. Leave the Palmcorder for
about 30 minutes.
≥However, you can use the Card Recording
Mode or Picture/MPEG4 Playback Mode
when the cassette is not inserted.
When [3 DEW] blinks in red
≥The Power Indicator Lamp blinks for about
1 minute and then the Palmcorder
automatically turns off. Leave it for about
2 to 3 hours.
3 Turn the Palmcorder on again, set it to the
Tape Recording/Playback Mode and then
check if the condensation indication
disappears.
Especially in cold conditions, dew may be frozen.
In this case, it may take more time before the
condensation indication disappears.
Watch for Condensation even before the
Condensation Indication is displayed.
≥The condensation indication may not appear
depending on circumstances. When
condensation occurs on the lens or the
Palmcorder, it also may occur on the head and
the tape. Do not open the Cassette
Compartment Cover.
When the Lens Is Fogged:
Set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF] and leave the
Palmcorder in this condition for about 1 hour.
When the lens temperature becomes close to the
ambient temperature, the fog disappears
naturally.
