Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the
following cautions:

1. During use . . .

.... make sure the cassette bears the VHS-C mark.
.... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes

automatically erases the previously recorded video and
audio signals.

.... make sure the cassette is positioned properly when

inserting.

.... do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly without

allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and
can result in damage.

.... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes the tape to

fingerprints and dust.

2. Store cassettes . . .

.... away from heaters or other heat sources.
.... out of direct sunlight.
.... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary shock or

vibration.

.... where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic fields

(such as those generated by motors, transformers or
magnets).

.... vertically, in their original cases.

CAUTIONS

General Battery Precautions

If the cassette adapter is not functioning even if it is being
operated correctly, the batteries are exhausted. Replace them
with fresh ones.

Please make note of the following rules for battery use. When
misused, the batteries can leak or explode.

1. When replacing batteries, read the cassette adapter

(C-P6U/C-P7U) instructions.

2. Do not use any different size of batteries from those

specified.

3. Be sure to install batteries in the correct direction.

4. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

5. Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat as they can

leak or explode.

6. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

7. Remove the batteries from the unit if it is to be stored for an

extended period to avoid battery leakage which can cause
malfunctions.

Battery Packs

The battery packs are nickel-cadmium or
nickel metal-hydride batteries. Before using
the supplied battery pack or an optional
battery pack, be sure to read the following
cautions:

1. To avoid hazard . . .

.... do not burn.
.... do not short-circuit the terminals.
.... do not modify or disassemble.
.... use only specified chargers.

2. To prevent damage and prolong service

life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.
.... charge in an environment where temperatures are within

the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a
chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures
impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can
prevent complete charging.

.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high

temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten
service life.

.... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every

6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period
time.

.... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as

some machines use current even when switched off.

Terminals

When using the AC Adapter in areas other than the USA
• The provided AC Adapter features automatic voltage

USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG ADAPTER
In case of connecting the unit’s AC Adapter to an AC wall
