Panasonic NV-DS15EN - Precautions for Storage

ENGLISH
■ Precautions for Storage
Before Storing the Movie Camera, Take out the
Cassette and Remove the Battery.
store all equipment in a dry place where the temperature
remains relatively constant.
(Recommended temperature is 15*C-25'=C and recommended
relative humidity is 40%-60%.)
Movie Camera
•Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from entering.
•Never leave the Movie Camera In places with high
temperature.
Battery
•Extremely low or high temperature shortens the Battery life,
•Storing it in places with oily smoke and a lot of dust could
cause the terminals to get rusty, and this can result In
malfunction.
•Do not allow metal objects (such as necklaces and hair
pins) to touch the battery terminals. Short-circuiting
may occur and generate heat, and touching If in this
condition could Inflict serious burns.
•Store the Battery in discharged condition. If you store the
Battery for a long time, we recommend that you charge It
once a year and completely use up the charge before
storing It again in discharged condition.
Cassette
•Rewind the tape to Its beginning before storing.
Leaving the cassette with the tape stopped halfway for more
than 6 months (depending on the storing condition) loosens
the tape. Be sure to rewind it to the beginning.
•Put the cassette in its case to store it.
Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) and humidity could
damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral particles and
cassettes with dust damage the video heads and other parts
of the Movie Camera. Make it a habit to always put the
cassette back into its case.
•Completely wind the tape forward and then rewind it once
every half year. Leaving the cassette for more than a year
without winding/rewindlng it may deform the cassette
because of stretching and shrinking of the tape due to
changes in temperature and humidity. Also, the tape may
stick together.
•Do not place the cassette near strongly magnetized ok^ects
or equipment.
•The tape surface is coated with microscopic magnetic
particles and they record signals. Such objects as magnetic
necklaces and toys have stronger magnetic force than
commonly thought, and this could erase the recorded
contents and cause noise in picture and sound.

turn 08 the power, or subject it to vibrations and shocks.

temperature, exposed to direct sunlight, or where

generated.
