Operating precautions
Do not allow any water to get into the
camera-recorder when using it in the rain or
snow or at the beach.
• Failure to heed this caution will cause the
camera-recorder or cassette to malfunction (and
may result in irreparable damage).
Keep the camera-recorder away from
equipment (such as TV sets and video game
machines) that generate magnetic fields.
• Using the camera-recorder on top of or near a TV
set may cause distortion in the images and/or
sound due to the electromagnetic waves that the
set emits.
• The powerful magnetic fields generated by
speakers or large motors may damage your tape
recordings or distort the images.
• The electromagnetic waves emitted from a
microcomputer will adversely affect the camera-
recorder, causing the images and/or sound to be
distorted.
• If the camera-recorder is so adversely affected by
products that generate magnetic fields that it no
longer operates properly, turn it off and remove
the battery or unplug the AC adapter from the
power outlet. Then install the battery again or re-
connect the AC adapter. After this, turn the
camera-recorder back on.
Do not use the camera-recorder near radio
transmitters or high-voltage equipment.
• Using the camera-recorder near a radio
transmitter or high-voltage equipment may
adversely affect the recorded images and/or
sound.
Do not allow any sand or dust to get into the
camera-recorder when using it at the beach
and other similar places.
• Sand and dust can damage the camera-recorder
and cassette. (Be especially careful when
inserting or removing the cassettes.)
AC adapter and battery
• If the battery is extremely hot or cold, the
CHARGE lamp will blink several times before
charging starts.
• If the CHARGE lamp continues to blink even
when the battery temperature is normal, there
may be something wrong with the battery or AC
adapter. Contact your dealer.
• The battery takes longer to charge when it is
warm.
• The AC adapter can interfere with radio reception
so keep radios at least 1 meter away from it.
• The AC adapter may make some noise when you
are using it, but this is normal.
Take precautions not to drop the camera
when moving it.
• Strong impacts may damage the camera and
cause it to stop working.
• Handle the camera with care, using the hand
strap or shoulder strap to carry it.
Do not spray the camera with insect sprays
or other volatile substances.
• These can warp the camera or cause the finish to
come off.
• Do not leave the camera-recorder in contact with
rubber or PVC products for extended periods of
time.
After use, remove the cassette and battery
and disconnect the AC power supply cord.
• The tape can become slack or damaged if you
leave it in the camera.
• The battery can over discharge if you leave it in
the camera and it may become impossible to
recharge it.
