Storage tips
When storing the camera recorder, eject the
cassette from the camera recorder and remove
the battery.
Store all components in a location where the
humidity level is low and the temperature is
relatively stable.
Recommended temperature range:
59°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C)
Recommended relative humidity:
40% to 60%
Camera recorder
O
Wrap the camera recorder in soft cloth to
keep out dust.
Battery
O
The battery’s service life is reduced if the
battery is stored in a location where the
temperature is extremely high or extremely
low.
O
If the battery is stored in a location exposed
to high concentrations of oily vapors and/or
dust, the terminals may corrode or other
problems may develop, possibly resulting in
malfunctioning.
O
Do not bring metal objects (such as
necklaces or hairpins) into contact with
the battery terminals. The terminals may
short circuit and generate heat, and
touching them in this condition may cause
severe burns.
O
Store the battery only when it is fully
discharged. It is recommended that the
battery be charged once a year when it is
being stored long-term and that it be placed
back in storage after it has been fully
discharged using the camera recorder.
Cassette tapes
O
Before storing a cassette tape, rewind the
tape to its start. If a tape that has been
stopped at some interim point along its length
is stored for six months or more (this period
of time differs depending on the storage
conditions), tape slack will develop. Always
rewind the tape to its start before storing it.
O
Return cassette tapes to their original cases
before storing them. Dust, direct sunlight
(ultraviolet rays), humidity and other such
conditions may damage the tapes. Dust
contains particles of hard mineral substances,
and if dust should enter inside a cassette,
these particles may in turn be transferred to
the heads and other parts, possibly resulting
in their damage. Make a habit of always
returning the cassettes to their original cases.
O
Fast forward and rewind cassette tapes once
every six months. If tapes are kept wound up
for more than a year, they may become
warped or distorted due to the expansion and
contraction caused by changes in the
temperature and humidity. In addition, layers
of tape may stick together.
O
Do not place cassette tapes near matter or
equipment which emits strong magnetic
fields.
O
Extremely fine magnetic particles are
contained in the coating of the tape surface,
and it is here that the signals are recorded.
Magnetic necklaces, toys and other such
items may have stronger magnetic fields than
suspected, which may erase recordings or
give rise to noise in the pictures and sound.
