Do not leave your camcorder in direct sunlight. Doing so
could permanently damage the camcorder’s internal parts.
Do not operate the camcorder in extremely humid
environments.
Do not operate the camcorder for extended periods in
temperatures below
or above 104°F (40°C).
Do not expose the camcorder or adapter/charger to rain or
moisture. If either component becomes wet, turn off the
power and take the unit to an Authorized RCA Compact
Camcorder Servicenter.
Never attempt to force open the cassette door. If the battery
reaches its empty level during recording, the camcorder will
shut off, but the battery should have enough reserve power to
eject the cassette. If the camcorder does not eject the cassette,
power your camcorder with the adapter/charger or recharge
the battery.
Do not use an adapter/charger or batteries other than the ones
specified for the camcorder. Use of the wrong accessories
may cause damage to the camcorder.
