Important safety instructions
iii
14
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as when the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
15
Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing. Do not
put objects filled with liquid, such as a vase, on this apparatus.
16
VENTILATION:
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to
ensure reliable operation of the CAMCORDER and to protect
it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. Never place your CAMCORDER on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface or on or near a radiator or heat register.
This CAMCORDER should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
17
POWER SOURCES:
Operate the CAMCORDER using only the types and sources
of power indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supplied to your home, consult your local power
company. This CAMCORDER is intended to be powered by
a rechargeable battery or by its power supply. Refer to the
operating instructions.
18
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:
This CAMCORDER may be equipped with either a polarized
2-wire AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other) or a 3-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin
for grounding). If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
19
POWER-CORD PROTECTION:
Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay
particular attention to the plug, areas around wall outlets, and
the point where the cord exits from the unit.
20
LIGHTNING:
To protect the CAMCORDER during a lightning storm or when
you leave it unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the
CAMCORDER due to lightning and powerline surges.
21
OVERLOADING:
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
22
OBJECTS AND LIQUIDS:
Never push objects of any kind into the CAMCORDER through
the openings in its case. The objects may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out a part that could result in a fire
or electric shock. Never spill liquids of any kind onto the
CAMCORDER. Should spillage occur, unplug the unit and have
it checked by a technician before use.
