Cautions When Using

Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:

• The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with

a sharp object.

• If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear

soon, turn the DVD video camera/recorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.

• Do not place the DVD video camera/recorder with the open LCD screen down.

• Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD video camera/recordel_

Liquid crystal display (LCD) and viewfinder:

• The LCD screen and viewfinder are the products of highly precise technolog_ Among the total

number of pixels (approx. 120,000 pixels for LCD monitor and equivalent to approx. 200,000 pixels

for viewfinder), 0.01% or less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as colored dots

(red, blue, green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a

fault that will interfere with recording.

• The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD video camera/

recorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. Normal

brightness will be restored when the temperahlre inside the DVD video camera/recorder rises.

•This DVD video camera/recorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it

against a hard object or let it fall.

• When using a tripod, firmly secure the DVD video camera/recorder on it. Do not use the DVD

video camera/recorder with a tripod in a place whel_ it is subject to severe vibrations or impact.

No sand or dustt

• Fine sand or dust entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause

malfunctions or defects.

No water or oil!

• Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause electric

shock, malfunctions or defects.

Heat on surface of product:

• The surfaces of the DVD video camera/recordel, AC adapter/charger and battery will be slightly

warm, but this does not indicate a fault.

Screen on connected TV:

•Never leave the disc navigation sc]_en, still image or camera image displayed on your TV to which

the DVD video camera/recorder is connected: Doing so could result in displayed image retention

or phosphor degradation of TV screen.

Be careful of ambient temperature:

•Using the DVD video camera/recorder in a place where the temperature is over 104"F (40;'C) or

under 32°F (0"C) will result in abnormal recording/playback.

• Take care that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder, when connected to PC does

not rise excessively (reference for usage: approx. 30 minutes at about 86"F (30_'C)).

• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder on beach sand or in a closed vehicle where the

temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunctions.

Do not point directly at the sun:

• If direct sunlight strikes the lens or viewfinder, the DVD video camera/recorder couM malfunction

or a fire could occur.

• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight: This

could cause malfunctions.

by gasoline or diesel engine, corrosive gas such as hydrogen sulfide, or sulfur such as in a hot

spring area, the external or internal terminals could corrode, which would disable normal

operation, or the battery connecting terminals could corrode, so power will not turn on.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near ultrasonic humidifier:

•With some water in humidifier, calcium and other chemicals dissolved in water could scatter in the

air, and white particles could adhere to the optical head of the DVD video camera/recorder, which

could cause it to operate abnormally.

Do not expose the DVD video camera/recorder to insecticide:

•Insecticide entering the DVD video camera/recorder could dirty the lens in laser pickup block,

and in such a case the DVD video camera/recorder might not operate normall)_ Turn the DVD

video camera/recorder off and cover it with vinyl sheet, etc. before using insecticide.

dry cloth. Even if the external surface of DVD video camera/recorder has dried, condensation may

remain inside: Turn the DVD video camera/recorder off and leave it in a dry place for at least 1 - 2

hours before using it again.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder for a long uninterrupted period of time:

• This DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used for a long time continuously as a surveillance

camera/monitol_ If you use it for a long continuous period of time, the temperature of DVD video

camera/recorder could exceed the linrit and the recording/playback operation may slow down or

other faults could occur. If this happens, turn it off and wait for a while before using it again.
