Troubleshooting/Cautions
.
Battery Pack
The supplied battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery. Before using
the supplied battery pack or an
optional battery pack, be sure
to read the following cautions:
•
To avoid hazards
...
do not
burn.
...
do not
short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away
from metallic objects when not in use. When
transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
...
do not
modify or disassemble.
...
do not
expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the
battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
•
To prevent damage and prolong service life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge within the temperature range of 10°C
to 35°C. Cooler temperatures
require longer charging time, or in some cases
stop charging at all.
Warmer temperatures prevent complete
charging, or in some cases stop charging at all.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
... keep a 30% battery level (
X
) if the battery pack
is not to be used for a long period of time.
In addition, fully charge and then fully discharge
the battery pack every 6 months, then continue
to store it at a 30% battery level (
X
).
... remove from charger or powered unit when not
in use, as some machines use current even
when switched off.
... do not drop or subject to strong impact.
Recording Medium
•
Be sure to follow the guidelines below
to prevent corruption or damage to your
recorded data.
•
Do not bend or drop the recording medium,
or subject it to strong pressure, jolts or
vibrations.
•
Do not splash the recording medium with water.
•
Do not use, replace, or store the recording
medium in locations that are exposed to
strong static electricity or electrical noise.
•
Do not turn off the camcorder power or
remove the battery or AC adapter during
shooting, playback, or when otherwise
accessing the recording medium.
•
Do not bring the recording medium near
objects that have a strong magnetic field or
that emit strong electromagnetic waves.
•
Do not store the recording medium in
locations with high temperature or high humidity.
•
Do not touch the metal parts.
•
When formatting or erasing data using
the camcorder, only the file administration
information is changed. The data is not
completely erased from the recording medium.
If you want to completely erase all of the data,
we recommend either using commercially
available software that is specially designed for
that purpose, or by physically destroying the
camcorder with a hammer etc.
LCD Monitor
•
To prevent damage to the LCD monitor,
DO NOT
... push it strongly or apply any shocks.
... place the camcorder with LCD monitor on the
bottom.
