Battery Packs
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:
Terminals
•
To avoid hazards
... do not
burn.
... do not
short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away
from metallic objects when not in use. When
transporting, make sure the provided battery
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery
cap is misplaced, 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 fi re.
... use only specifi ed 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. 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.
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 camera 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 fi eld 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
camera, only the fi le administration information
is changed. The data is not completely erased
from the hard disk. 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 camera with a
hammer etc.
