Shoulder Strap

The Shoulder Strap allows you to carry your camcorder with complete safety.

1. Insert each end of the strap into the hooks on the camcorder.
2.  Put the end of each strap through the buckle, adjust the length

of the strap, then pull it tight in the buckle .

The lithium battery maintains the clock function, title and preset contents of the memory; even if the battery pack or
AC power adapter is removed.

The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 8~10 months under normal operation from the time of installation.

When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time indicator flashes for about 5 seconds when you set
the power switch to CAMERA. 
When this occurs, replace the lithium battery with type CR2025.

1.  Take out the holder from the lithium battery compartment.
2. Insert the 

side of the lithium battery toward the bottom 

of the holder.

3.  Reinsert the holder into the lithium battery compartment.

Note: If the holder is inserted in the wrong direction,

it will not fit correctly.

Warning:  Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of the reach of 

the children. 
Should the battery be swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
