Operating precautions
Do not allow any water to get into the cam-
era-recorder when using it in the rain or
snow or at the beach.
•
Failure to heed this caution will cause the camera-
recorder or cassette to malfunction (and may result in
irreparable damage).
Keep the camera-recorder away from equip-
ment (such as TV sets and video game
machines) that generate magnetic fields.
•
Using the camera-recorder on top of or near a TV set
may cause distortion in the images and/or sound due
to the electromagnetic waves that the set emits.
•
The powerful magnetic fields generated by speakers
or large motors may damage your tape recordings or
distort the images.
•
The electromagnetic waves emitted from a micro-
computer will adversely affect the camera-recorder,
causing the images and/or sound to be distorted.
•
If the camera-recorder is so adversely affected by
products that generate magnetic fields that it no
longer operates properly, turn it off and remove the
battery or unplug the AC adapter from the power out-
let. Then install the battery again or re-connect the
AC adapter. After this, turn the camera-recorder back
on.
Do not use the camera-recorder near radio
transmitters or high-voltage equipment.
•
Using the camera-recorder near a radio transmitter or
high-voltage equipment may adversely affect the
recorded images and/or sound.
Do not allow any sand or dust to get into the
camera-recorder when using it at the beach
and other similar places.
•
Sand and dust can damage the camera-recorder and
cassette. (Be especially careful when inserting or
removing the cassettes.)
AC adapter and battery
• If the battery is extremely hot or cold, the CHARGE
lamp will blink several times before charging starts.
• If the CHARGE lamp continues to blink even when
the battery temperature is normal, there may be
something wrong with the battery or AC adapter.
Contact your dealer.
• The battery takes longer to charge when it is warm.
• The AC adapter can interfere with radio reception so
keep radios at least 1 meter away from it.
• The AC adapter may make some noise when you are
using it, but this is normal.
Take precautions not to drop the camera when
moving it.
• Strong impacts may damage the camera and cause it
to stop working.
• Handle the camera with care, using the hand strap or
shoulder strap to carry it.
Do not spray the camera with insect sprays or
other volatile substances.
• These can warp the camera or cause the finish to
come off.
• Do not leave the camera-recorder in contact with
rubber or PVC products for extended periods of time.
After use, remove the cassette and battery and
disconnect the AC power supply cord.
• The tape can become slack or damaged if you leave
it in the camera.
• The battery can over discharge if you leave it in the
camera and it may become impossible to recharge it.
