❍
Although the battery pack’s operating temperature range is from 32 ˚F to 104 ˚F
(0 ˚C to 40 ˚C), the optimal range is from 50 ˚F to 86 ˚F (10 ˚C to 30 ˚C). At cold
temperatures, performance will temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before
use.
❍
Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially
at normal temperatures.
About the battery terminal cover
The battery terminal cover has a [
]-shaped hole. This is useful when you wish to
differentiate between charged and uncharged battery packs. For example, with
charged battery packs, attach the terminal cover so that the [
]-shaped hole shows
the blue label.
Cassette Handling Precautions
❍
Rewind tapes after use. If the tape becomes slack and damaged, it may cause picture
and sound distortion.
❍
Return cassettes in the case and store them upright.
❍
Do not leave the cassette in the camcorder after use.
❍
Do not use spliced tapes or nonstandard cassettes as they may damage the camcorder.
❍
Do not use tapes that have been jammed as video heads may become dirty.
❍
Do not insert anything into the small holes of the cassette, or cover them with
cellophane tape.
❍
Handle cassettes with care. Do not drop or subject them to severe impact as this may
damage the cassettes.
❍
Rewind tapes from time to time if they are stored for a long time.
❍
With cassettes equipped with a memory function, metal plated terminals may become
dirty with use. Clean the terminals with a cotton swab after about 10 times of
loading/unloading. The memory function is not supported by the camcorder.
