Handling Precautions
• SD cards have a physical switch to prevent writing on the card so as to avoid the
accidental erasure of the card’s content. To write-protect the SD card, set the
switch to the LOCK position.
Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep the date/time and other settings. The built-in
lithium battery is recharged while you use the camcorder; however, it will discharge completely if you do not use
the camcorder for about 3 months.
To recharge the built-in lithium battery: Connect the DC cable and compact power adapter to the camcorder
and use a household power outlet to power the camcorder for 24 hours while it is turned off.
Disposal
When you delete data on an SD card, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not physically
erased. Take the necessary precautions when you dispose of an SD card, for example by physically damaging it
to prevent the leakage of private data.
If giving an SD card to another person, initialize it using the [Complete] initialization option (
A
40). Fill it up with
unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again. This makes recovering the original recordings very difficult.
