(a) Video Head Cleaning:
Normally, your Palmcorder will not
require head cleaning. However, it is possible that the heads
may become clogged due to dust in the air, damaged tape,
long term use, etc. If “NEED HEAD CLEANING” appears for 5
seconds in the EVF or LCD monitor, the heads may require
cleaning.
(b) Cleaning the Heads:
It is recommended that head
cleaning be performed by a qualified service technician.
Please contact your nearest Panasonic Servicentre. An
alternate solution is to obtain a head cleaning cassette. Please
use a Panasonic cleaning cassette (AY-DVMCL). Be sure to
follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Excessive use of the
head cleaning cassette could shorten video head life.
Use this cassette only when a head clogging symptom occurs.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
