Operating precautions
When using the unit in rainy or snowy weather,
at the beach or other locations, take care to
protect it from precipitation and sea water.
• Otherwise, trouble may occur in the unit and
its cards. (It may not be possible to restore the
original functions.)
Keep the unit away from appliances (such
as TV sets and TV game machines) which
generate magnetic fields.
• When the unit is used on top of or near a TV set,
the images and sound may be distorted by the
electromagnetic waves emanating from the TV
set.
• Strong magnetic fields generated by speakers
or large motors may damage the recordings or
distort the images.
• The electromagnetic waves emanating from
microprocessors may adversely affect the unit
and distort the images and sound.
• If the unit is adversely affected by an appliance
that generates magnetic fields and fails to
operate properly as a result, turn off its power,
and either remove its battery or unplug the AC
adapter from the power outlet. Then install the
battery again or re-connect the AC adapter. After
doing this, turn the unit’s power back on.
Do not use the unit near a radio transmitter or
high-voltage appliance.
• Doing so may adversely affect the recorded
images and sound.
When using the unit at the beach or similar
locations, take care to protect it from sand and
dust.
• Sand and dust may damage the unit and its
cards. (Take particular care when inserting or
ejecting the cards.)
Installation location
Do not place this unit where it will be exposed to
direct sunlight. Doing so may cause deterioration
of the cabinet and/or damage to the LCD screen.
AC adapter and battery
• When the battery temperature is extremely high
or extremely low or when the battery has not
been used for a prolonged period and been left
discharged, the [CHARGE] lamp will blink several
times, and charging will start automatically.
• If the [CHARGE] lamp continues blinking even
when the battery temperature is normal, this may
be a sign of trouble in the battery or AC adapter.
Consult with your dealer.
• When the battery is warm, it will take longer than
usual to recharge it.
• When the AC adapter is used near a radio, the
sound from the radio may be distorted. Use the
AC adapter and radio at a distance of at least 1
meter from each other.
• Noise is output while the AC adapter is being
used, but this is not a sign of trouble.
When carrying the unit around, take care not
to drop it.
• Strong impacts may damage the unit’s body,
preventing it from operating properly.
Do not expose the unit to insecticides or
volatile sprays or liquids.
• These substances may deform the unit’s body or
cause its paint to peel off.
• Do not bring the unit into contact with products
made of rubber or vinyl for prolonged periods of
time.
