Things to Avoid
• Do not attempt to disassemble the camcorder. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside.
• Avoid operating the camcorder immediately after moving it from a cold location to a
warm location. Give the camcorder 1-1/2 to 2 hours to reach a stable temperature
before inserting a tape.
• In cold to warm conditions, condensation might occur causing the tape to stick to the
recording heads and damage the camcorder or tapes.
• Never aim the camcorder at the sun or other bright objects.
• Do not leave the camcorder in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. The
resulting heat buildup might permanently damage the camcorder’s internal parts or
reduce the life of the clock battery.
• Do not operate the camcorder in extremely humid environments.
• Do not operate the camcorder near the ocean as salt water or spray might damage the
internal parts of the camcorder.
• Do not operate the camcorder for extended periods in temperatures below 40˚F (4˚C)
or above 95˚F (35˚C).
• Do not expose the camcorder or power supply/charger to rain or moisture. If any
component becomes wet, turn off the power and take the unit to an authorized RCA
camcorder service provider.
• Do not use an power supply/charger or batteries other than the ones specified for the
camcorder. Using the wrong accessories might cause damage to the camcorder.
