Precautions for the Battery
The Battery’s ability to generate electric energy is based on a
chemical reaction. If the Battery is incorrectly handled, it could
cause leakage, excessive rise in temperature, fire or
explosion.
∫
Observe the Following Points:
≥
Use only the specified AC Adaptor or Car Battery Charger to
charge the Battery, and use the Battery only for this Movie
Camera.
≥
When you have finished using the Movie Camera, be sure to
remove the Battery.
If you leave the Battery attached to the Movie Camera, a
small amount of electricity is consumed even if the
[CAMERA/OFF/VCR] Switch is set to [OFF], and this
reduces the Battery’s charge. Leaving the Battery attached
to the Movie Camera for a very long time could discharge it
excessively and this could make charging impossible.
≥
Do not allow metal objects such as keys and necklaces to
touch the battery terminals.
Short-circuiting may occur and generate heat, and this could
cause the Battery to explode. Be especially careful when
storing or carrying the Battery in a bag.
≥
Do not deform or alter the Battery.
≥
When the operation time even after proper charging is too
short for normal use, the service life of the Battery has
reached its end.
≥
If the Battery becomes too warm, a protection function is
activated and it puts the Battery temporarily out of
operation.
≥
Do not throw the Battery into a fire.
This could cause it to explode.
∫
Precautions for Storing the Battery
Avoid the following places, as they could shorten the service
life of the Battery:
≥
Places with extremely high temperature and high relative
humidity
Recommended temperature: 15
o
C–25
o
C
Recommended relative humidity: 40%–60%
≥
Places with oily smoke and a lot of dust
The terminals of the Battery might rust.
≥
Before you store the Battery for a long time, perform
playback or other operations to completely use up the
remaining charge in the Battery. Then remove it from the
Movie Camera and store it. We recommend that you
reactivate the Battery about once a year by charging it and
then completely using up the charge before storing it again.
Precautions for the Cassette
When you have finished using the Movie Camera, rewind the
tape to the beginning and take the cassette out of the Movie
Camera. If you store the cassette for a long time, fast-forward
and then rewind it at least once a year to expose the tape to
fresh air.
Observe the following points to prevent deformation of the
cassette case and deterioration of the picture and sound
quality.
≥
Do not subject the cassette to strong vibration or
mechanical shocks.
≥
Do not place it near magnetized equipment.
≥
Avoid places where the temperature can become very high.
