Do not throw an old battery into fire.
≥
Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may
result in an explosion.
If the operating time is very short even after
the battery has been recharged, the battery
has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.
≥
If the temperature of the battery is extremely
high or extremely low, charging may take time
or the battery may not be charged.
≥
If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make sure
that the terminals of the battery or the AC
adaptor are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects
or dust, then reconnect them properly.
Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet
when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust
on the terminals of the battery or the AC
adaptor.
If the charging lamp is still flashing, the
temperature of the battery may be extremely
high or extremely low or something may be
wrong with the battery or AC adaptor. Contact
consumer support. (

≥
If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC
adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the
radio.
≥
When using the AC adaptor, it may generate
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥
After use, be sure to disconnect the AC
adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute
amount of current is consumed.)
≥
Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor
and battery clean.
≥
When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a
soft cloth such as eye glass cleaner.
≥
In a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD monitor.
Wipe it with a soft cloth and eye glass cleaner.
≥
When the unit has become very cold, for
example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD
monitor will be slightly darker than usual
immediately after the power is turned on. The
normal brightness will be restored when the
unit’s internal temperature rises.
When condensation forms on the unit, the lens
will cloud up and the unit may not work properly.
Make every effort to ensure that condensation
does not form. If it does form, take the actions
described below.
Causes of condensation
Condensation takes place when the ambient
temperature or humidity is changed as
follows.
≥
When this unit is brought inside from the cold
(e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room.
≥
When this unit is moved from an
air-conditioned car to outside.
≥
When a cold room has been warmed up
quickly.
≥
When cool wind from an air conditioner is
directly blown onto this unit.
≥
After summer afternoon showers of rain.
≥
When this unit is in a very humid place where
the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a heated
swimming pool)
Helpful hint
If, for example, you have used this unit for
recording on a ski slope and are taking it into a
heated room, place the unit inside a plastic bag,
remove as much of the air from inside the bag as
possible, then seal the bag. Leave the unit for
about an hour in the room so the temperature of
the unit is close to the ambient temperature of
the room, then use it.
About the AC adaptor
LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen
featuring a total of approximately 230,000
pixels. The result is more than 99.99%
effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the
pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is
not a malfunction and does not affect the
recorded picture.
