Camcorder Traveling and Cassette Tips
Traveling Tips
Write down your camcorder’s serial
number and keep it separate from the
camcorder when traveling. If your
camcorder is lost or stolen, you will be
able to identify it.
Make sure you have any plug adapters
you need before taking your camcorder to
other countries. Consult your dealer.
Use extra care to avoid damage to your
camcorder and accessories when operating
them at a beach or pool. Spray, sand, and
dust should be avoided. If your lens has
been exposed to the elements, clean it
only with proper lens cleaning supplies.
Cassette Tips
Do not use a cassette if it has been
damaged or exposed to moisture. The
tape may jam or damage your camcorder.
When you are finished recording, break
off the safety tab on the cassette to prevent
accidental erasure.
Label your cassettes before storing them.
Carry your camcorder in a carrying case
when traveling. See page 44 for a
specially designed case. An ordinary
suitcase or
carry bag does not offer the
protection your camcorder needs. Treat
your camcorder as carry-on luggage to
protect it from rough handling.
Store your cassettes vertically in their
protective cases at normal room
temperature.
Do not leave your camcorder or cassettes
in a car or outdoors for an extended
period. Excessive heat or cold may
damage them.
