heads. If the heads are worn, images cannot be
played back even after the heads are cleaned.)
≥
If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the
Head Cleaner, the Movie Camera needs to be
cleaned at a service centre. Please consult a
dealer.
≥
Video Head Cleaners can be purchased from
service centres.
≥
Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not
considered a malfunction of the product. It is not
covered by the warranty.
Periodical Check-up
To maintain the highest image quality, we
recommend replacement of worn parts, such as
heads, etc., after approximately 1000 hours of
use. (This, however, depends on operating
conditions, such as temperature, humidity, dust,
etc.)

Optimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Its ability to generate power is based upon the
chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This
reaction is susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature
is too high or too low, the operating time of the
Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in
an extremely cold environment, the Battery may
operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery
becomes extremely hot, a protective function may
operate, and the Battery may become unusable
for a while.
Be Sure to Detach the Battery after Use
Be sure to detach the Battery from the Movie
Camera. (If it is left attached to the Movie
Camera, a minute amount of current is consumed
even when the Movie Camera power is off.) If the
Battery is left attached to the Movie Camera for a
long time, over-discharge takes place. The
Battery may become unusable after it is charged.
Disposing of an Unusable Battery
≥
The Battery has a limited life.
≥
Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may
cause an explosion.
Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery
Clean
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with
dirt, dust, or other substances.
If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see
if the Battery body and terminals are deformed.
Attaching a deformed Battery to the Movie
Camera or AC Adaptor may damage the Movie
Camera or AC Adaptor.
ª
Cautions for Storage
Before storing the Movie Camera, take the
Cassette out and detach the Battery.
Store all the components in a dry place with a
relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended Temperature: 15 to 25
o
C,
Recommended Humidity: 40 to 60%)
Movie Camera
≥
Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from
getting into the Camera.
≥
Do not leave the Movie Camera in places that
expose it to high temperature.
Battery
≥
Extremely high temperatures or low
temperatures will shorten the life of the Battery.
≥
If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places,
the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.
≥
Do not allow the Battery terminals to come
in contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result in
a short circuit or heat generation and, if you
touch the Battery in this condition, you may
be badly burned.
≥
Store the Battery in a completely discharged
state. To store the Battery for a long period of
time, we recommend you charge it once every
year and store it again after you completely use
up the charged capacity.
Cassette
≥
Before storing it, rewind the tape to the
beginning. If the Cassette is left for more than
6 months with the tape stopped midway, the
tape sags (although it depends on the storage
condition). Be sure to rewind to the beginning.
≥
Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct
sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may
damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral
particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the
heads of the Movie Camera and other
components. Develop a habit of returning the
Cassette back to its case.
≥
Once every half year, wind the tape to the end
and then rewind it to the beginning. If the
Cassette is left for 1 year or longer without
winding or rewinding, temperature and humidity
changes may cause the Cassette to deform due
to swelling, shrinking, and so forth. The wound
tape may stick to itself.
≥
Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic
substances or equipment.
≥
The surface of tape is covered with extremely
minute magnetic particles, upon which signals
are recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc.,
have magnetic force that is stronger than you
may normally expect, and they may erase the
contents of a recording or may cause noise in
images and sounds.
