Do not store the camcorder with a
disc left inside.
• Do not bend, scratch or wet the disc
and
do
not subject it
to
strong shocks.
• Do not attach any labels
or
stickers on
the disc surfaces. The disc may not
rotate
in
a stable manner and this may
cause malfunctions.
• Keep the disc clean
of
dust, dirt or
smudges. Even very small smudges
or
particles
of
dust can lead
to
problems
when recording or playing back the
disc. Carefully inspect the recording
surface of the disc before inserting it
in
the camcorder. If the disc gets dirty
use a dry, soft lens-cleaning cloth
to
remove any fingerprints, dirt buildup
or smudges from the disc surface.
Clean the disc
in
a radial motion from
its center outwards.
• Never use a chemically treated cloth
or flammable solvents such as paint
thinner
to
clean the disc.
•
To
protect the disc, return it
to
its case
for storage.
• When writing on the label side
of
the
disc, avoid hard
tip
pens. Use
waterproof soft-tipped felt pens
instead.
• Moving a disc rapidly between hot
and cold temperatures may cause
condensation
to
form on its surfaces.
If condensation forms on the disc, put
it aside until the water droplets have
evaporated completely.
• Never expose the disc
to
direct
sunlight and
do
not store it
in
places
subject
to
high temperatures or high
humidity.
• Always finalize a disc before inserting
it into
an
external DVD device. Failing
to
do
so can result
in
the loss
of
the
recorded data.

precautions at the same time for all
battery packs.
• Although the battery pack's operating
temperature range is from 0 °C
to
40°C
(32
OF
to
104
OF),
the optimal
range is from
10°C
to
30 °C (50
of
to
86
OF).
At cold temperatures,
performance will temporarily decline.
Warm it
in
your pocket before use.
• Replace the battery pack if the usable
time after full charge diminishes
substantially at normal temperatures.
The recording surface
of
DVD discs is
extremely delicate. If handled
or
stored
in
an
incorrect manner, the camcorder
may
stop
recognizing
or
may not be
able
to
play back the disc. Be sure
to
observe the following precautions when
storing/handling your discs.
• Always remove the disc from the
camcorder after you finish
recording.
