Handling
Precautions
o
Do
not subject the camcorder to vibrations or strong impacts while the DISC access
indicator
is

flashing. The data may not be correctly recorded
on
the disc, and the

o
Do
not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel or the disc cover. Be careful when
closing the LCD panel.
o Do not leave the camcorder
in
places subject
to
high temperatures (like the inside of a
car under direct sunlight), or high humidity.
o Do not use the camcorder near strong electric or magnetic fields such as above TVs,
near plasma TVs or mobile phones.
o Do not point the lens or viewfinder at strong light sources.
Do
not leave the camcorder
pointed at a bright subject.
o Do not use
or
store the camcorder
in
dusty or sandy places. The camcorder

not
waterproof - avoid also water, mud or salt. If any
of
the above should get into the
camcorder it may damage the camcorder and/or the lens. Be sure to close the disc
compartment cover after use.

DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).
• Do not expose the battery pack
to
temperature higher than
60°C
(140
OF).
Do not
leave it near a heater or inside a car
in
hot weather.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify
it.
• Do not drop or knock
it.
• Do not get it wet.
o Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the
day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
o Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not
in
use. Contact with metallic
objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.
o Dirty terminals may
ca~se
a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder.
Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.
o Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its
Iifecycle or affect performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully and
to store it
in
a dry place at temperatures no higher than
30°C
(86
OF).
If you do not use
the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once a year. If
you have more than one battery pack, perform these precautions at the same time for
all battery packs.
