Cautions:
l BEFORE REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK,
ALWAYS STOP THE TAPE AND TURN THE
POWER OFF. If you remove the battery pack
during recording or playback, the tape will
remain wound around the video head drum and
may be damaged. Should the power source
(battery or adaptor) become disconnected
during operation, reconnect it again immediately.
l Do not expose the battery compartment door to
strong force, as it may come off.
l Be sure to close the battery compartment door
firmly. especially during operations. If you do not,
the battery pack may come off or VIEWCAM
operation may fail because of the poor contact
pressure.
l Remove the battery pack from the VIEWCAM or
disconnect the VIEWCAM from the AC adaptor if
the VIEWCAM will not be used for a long time.
l When removing the battery pack. do not tilt the
VIEWCAM so that the battery compartment faces
down. The battery pack may fall out.
