Proper Care and Storage
•
Keep dirt from entering the camcorder’s cassette tape door. Dust and grit are abrasive
and cause excessive wear to both the recording/playback heads and tapes.
•
Always cap the lens when the camcorder is not in use.
•
Before handling the camcorder, make sure your hands and face are free from any
chemical products such as suntan lotion, as it might damage the finish.
•
The camcorder might be damaged by improper storage or handling. Do not subject the
camcorder to swinging, shaking, or dropping.
•
Do not store the camcorder in temperatures below -22˚F (-30˚C) or above 149˚F (65˚C).
•
When the camcorder is not in use, always remove the tape and AC power supply/
charger or battery.
•
Retain the original carton for future storage or shipping purposes.
Tape Care and Storage
•
When finished with a tape, rewind it, remove it from the camcorder, and label it.
Protect the tape using the erase protection tab if necessary.
•
Store tapes vertically in their protective cases at normal room temperatures. Never
leave the camcorder or tapes in a car or outdoors for an extended period of time.
Excessive heat or cold might damage tapes.
•
Keep tapes away from strong magnetic fields such as electric motors, speakers, and
other devices.
•
Keep dust from entering the cassette tape compartment. All dust is abrasive and
causes excessive wear on the tape and the camcorder’s recording and playback
heads.
•
Never use tapes with damaged or spliced tape.
•
Do not use a tape if it has been damaged or exposed to moisture. The tape might
jam and/or damage the camcorder.
