Precautions on handling SD Memory
Cards
• After removing the card from the camcorder,
be sure to immediately store it in the card
case.
• Do not disassemble or modify the card.
• Do not strike, bend, drop, or allow the card to
become wet.
• Do not touch the metal terminals with your
hands or metallic objects.
• Do not peel off the label from the card.
• Do not attach other labels or stickers to the
card.
• Do not use or store the card in locations
directly exposed to sunlight, heat vents,
heating appliances, or other locations with
extremely high temperatures such as inside a
closed vehicle in the summer.
• Do not use or store the card in humid or dusty
locations.
• Do not use or store the card in locations
exposed to corrosive gases.
AC Adapter/Battery Charger
• The AC adapter/battery charger may interfere
with reception if used near a radio.
• Prevent flammables, liquids, and metal
objects from entering the adapter/charger.
• The adapter/charger is a sealed unit. Do not
attempt to open or modify it.
• Do not damage, drop, or subject the adapter/
charger to vibration.
• Do not leave the adapter/charger in direct
sunlight.
• Avoid using the adapter/charger in humid or
extremely hot places.
Protecting your data
• Set the write-protect switch to “LOCK”. Set
the switch to the unlocked side when you
want to record or edit the card again.
• Use an oil-based felt-tipped pen to write in
the memo space. Do not use a pencil or
ballpoint pen as these may damage the card
or destroy the data on the card.
• Do not remove the card or turn off the power
of the camcorder and peripheral equipment
while data is being read or written. Also do
not remove the power source from the
camcorder. These actions can cause data to
be destroyed. (Please be aware that Sharp
Corporation cannot be held liable for any data
loss or other loss directly or indirectly caused
by data loss.)
• Make backup copies of your data wherever
possible.
Replacing the Fluorescent
Lamp
This camcorder uses a fluorescent lamp to
backlight the LCD monitor. If the monitor
becomes dark or difficult to view, the fluores-
cent lamp may need to be replaced. Contact
the nearest SHARP service centre or your
dealer for further advice.
Battery Pack
This camcorder uses a lithium-ion type battery
pack.
Charging
• Charge the battery pack immediately (or a
day) before use. The battery pack gradually
self-discharges even if stored in a fully
charged state.
• Charge the battery pack between 10°C and
30°C.
• Fully charge the battery pack. Use of an
insufficiently charged battery pack will
shorten actual time of use.
• Refresh (discharging before charging) is
unnecessary.
