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 CHARGE 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.
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
dry soft cloth.
In a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD monitor.
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
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.
If condensation forms on the unit, the lens will
cloud up, the HDD may be damaged 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
If the charging lamp is still flashing, something
may be wrong with the battery or AC adaptor.

LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen
featuring a total of approximately 123,000
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.
