Handling Precautions
173
• Secure Digital (SD) memory 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 memory 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 compact power adapter to the camcorder and
leave it connected for 24 hours with the camcorder off.
Lithium Button Battery
• Do not pick up the battery using tweezers or other metal tools, as this will cause a short circuit.
• Wipe the battery with a clean dry cloth to ensure proper contact.
•
For California, USA only:
The lithium battery included contains Perchlorate Material – special
handling may apply.
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for details.
Disposal
When you delete movies or initialize the memory, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data
is not physically erased. When you dispose of the camcorder or memory card or give either to another
person, initialize it using the [Complete Initialization] option (
0
40). Fill it up with unimportant
recordings, and then initialize it again using the same option. This makes recovering the original
recordings very difficult.
