This unit is not intended for business use.
When you are not going to use the unit for an
extended time
≥
When storing the unit in a cupboard or cabinet,
it is recommended that you place a desiccant
(silica gel) in with it.
The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity
and temperature and the effect increases the
more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas,
the full charge indication may not appear or the
low battery indication may appear about
5 minutes after starting use. At high
temperatures, the protection function may be
triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
≥
If the battery is left attached, a minute amount
of current continues to flow even if the unit’s
power is off. Keeping the unit in this state may
result in over discharge of the battery. This
may result in you not being able to use the
battery even after it is charged.
≥
The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag
so metal does not come into contact with the
terminals.
≥
The battery should be stored in a cool place
free from humidity, with as constant
temperature as possible. (Recommended
temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C, Recommended
humidity: 40% to 60%)
≥
Extremely high temperatures or low
temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.
≥
If the battery is kept in high-temperature, high-
humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals
may rust and cause malfunctions.
≥
To store the battery for a long period of time,
we recommend you charge it once every year
and store it again after you have completely
used up the charged capacity.
≥
Dust and other matter attached to the battery
terminals should be removed.
Prepare spare batteries when going out for
recording.
≥
Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times
the period during you want to record pictures
in. In cold places such as a ski resort, the
period during which you can record pictures is
shortened.
≥
When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC
adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries
at your destination.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to
see if the terminals are damaged.
≥
Attaching a battery with damaged terminals
can damage the unit or AC adaptor.
Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥
Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may
result in an explosion.
≥
If the operating time is very short even after the
battery has been recharged, the battery has
worn out. Please purchase a new battery.
≥
If the battery is warm, charging requires more
time than normal.
≥
If the temperature of the battery is extremely
high or extremely low, the CHARGE lamp may
continue flashing, and the battery may not be
charged. Wait until the appropriate
temperature is restored before charging the
battery again. If the battery still fails to charge,
something may be wrong with the battery or
AC adaptor. Contact your dealer.
≥
If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC
adaptor 1 m or more away from the radio.
≥
When using the AC adaptor, it may generate
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥
After use, be sure to disconnect the AC
adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute
amount of current is consumed.)
≥
Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor
and battery clean.
Put this unit near the outlet to make it easy
for the interrupting device (plug) to reach it.
