Precautions
AC Adapter/Battery Charger
l The AC adapter/battery charger may interfere with
reception, if used near a radio.
l Prevent flammables, liquids, and metal objects
from entering the adapter/charger.
l The adapter/charger is a sealed unit. Do not
attempt to open or modify it.
l Do not damage, drop, or subject the adapter/
charger to vibration.
l Do not leave the adapter/charger in direct sunlight.
l Avoid using the adapter/charger in humid or
extremely hot places.
Battery Pack
Battery pack consumption
l Recording with many starts and stops, frequent
zooming, and recording in low temperatures
will somewhat shorten actual recording time.
Accordingly, be sure to turn off the power when
not recording. Use of an auxiliary battery pack
is recommended to prevent undesirable
interruptions in your recording.
l Do not use an insufficiently charged or weak
battery pack. Such battery packs may cause
the power to automatically stop during
VIEWCAM operation to protect both the battery
pack and the unit.
m This VIEWCAM uses a Ni-MH (nickel-metal
hydride) type or Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) type battery
pack. Use only the SHARP BT-H21 or BT-N1 battery
packs. They are designed specifically for use with this
VIEWCAM.
Battery pack life
The battery pack has a limited service life. If the
period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a
normal charge, the battery pack is at the end of
its service life.
Replace it with a new battery pack.
Extending battery pack life
We recommend that you use the battery pack until
its charge is fully drained and the VIEWCAM is
inoperable before recharging the pack.
Recharge the battery pack right before recording.
A battery pack stored for an extended time will
naturally wear down, resulting in decreased
recording time.
Do not try to recharge a fully charged battery pack
before it has been discharged, as this will cause
deterioration of the battery’s capacity.
Store the battery pack in a drv, cool place.
Battery power is consumed even when the
VIEWCAM’s power is turned off. If the VIEWCAM
will not be used, remove the battery pack. (See
page 11.)
How to use the battery pack cover
After the battery pack is charged, put the cover on
it so that the “CHARGE” mark printed on the label
is seen through the window, as shown.

Before the battery pack is charged, put the cover
upside down so that only the battery pack casing is
seen through the window.
Temperature during charging
l The Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) type BT-H21
battery pack can be charged at temperatures of
15°C to 30°C.
l The Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) type BT-N1 battery
pack can be charged at temperatures of 15°C to
40°C. To utilize the battery’s full capacity, it is
recommended that charging take place at
temperatures of 15°C to 35°C.
v For safety, keep the battery pack in its
protective cover when it is not being used. If the
metal parts of the battery pack come in contact with
other metal items, there is a danger that a short
circuit may occur.
Replacing the fluorescent lamp
The fluorescent lamp is used as the backlight lamp
for the LCD display. It has a limited service life.
When the LCD display becomes dark and difficult to
be watched, the fluorescent lamp is needed to be
replaced.
Under such circumstances, contact the nearest
SHARP service centre or your dealer for further
advice.
