Car Battery Cord (P. 11)
Be sure to start the car engine before inserting the
cigarette lighter plug of the Car Battery Cord into the
cigarette lighter socket; otherwise, the cigarette
lighter plug fuse may burn out when you start the
engine.
The car engine should be running while your
Palmcorder is in operation. Make sure your car is
located in an open, well ventilated area.
Disconnect the cigarette lighter plug when your
Palmcorder is not being used.
Note:
This cord can only be used in vehicles equipped with
DC 12V (negative ground) batteries.
Charging the Battery Pack (P. 9)
The useful operation time of the Battery will gradually
decrease after repeated use and recharging. The
Battery is no longer serviceable if the operation time
is too short even after a sufficient charge.
Special Effects Playback (P. 20)
During search playback, horizontal noise bars will
appear and there will be no audio.
*To protect the tape and Video Heads, your
Palmcorder's operating modes will automatically
revert as follows:
STILL
v STANDBY after 5 minutes.
STANDBY _ POWER OFF after 5 minutes
when using a Battery Pack.
When the tape reaches its end during playback, or
fast forward, the tape will rewind automatically.
High Speed Shutter (P. 24)
For proper color reproduction, it is recommended that
you use this feature outdoors. For indoor High Speed
Shutter recording, the Supplied COLOR
ENHANCEMENT LIGHT, or additional halogen or
tungsten light should be provided. Fluorescent light
will degrade the picture quality.
This feature requires ample light. More lightis
required for the fastest shutter speeds.
=The Auto Focus system may not operate properly
under insufficient lightwhen you are using the High
Speed Shutter.
Copying your Tapes (P. 32)
Source tapes recorded on other VCRs must be
recorded in SP or SLP mode for Palmcorder
playback.
For technical reasons, dubbing a tape may reduce its
quality.
CCD Warning
When your Palmcorder is aimed at a scene which
contains an excessively bright object such as the sun
or other bright lighting, a vertical bar may appear in the
picture. This is a characteristic of the CCD pick-up
device and is normal when using your Palmcorder. Try
to avoid aiming the camera directly at extremely bright
objects.
CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC in
USA (and to the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada)
that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
While sliding the EYEPIECE REMOVE button, remove
