SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a

3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked

or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug,

must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover

fitted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug

supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed

immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A

socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the

coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

— The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N

or coloured black.

— The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked

L or coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-

pin plug.

Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

— If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off

plug.

— The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead

wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

This VIEWCAM does not have a PCM recording or playback function. PCM recordings made

using other VCRs or audio dubbing cannot be played back on this unit.

NOTE:

The VIEWCAM’s LCD panel is a very high technology product with close to 90,000 thin-film

transistors*, giving you fine picture detail. Occasionally, a pixel may appear on the screen as a

fixed point of blue, green, red, or black. Please note that this does not affect your VIEWCAM’s

performance.

If you record on a tape on which PCM sound has already been recorded, the audio track of the

new VIEWCAM recording may not come out if the tape is played back on a PCM-capable VCR.

If this occurs, set the VCR’s audio monitor select switch to the “Standard” position.

*Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Your VIEWCAM is designed to record in SP mode only. It will not perform normal playback for

programmes prerecorded in LP mode.

Precautions

•When the VIEWCAM is not in use,

remember to remove the cassette tape,

turn off the power, and disconnect the

VIEWCAM from the power source.

•Do not aim the lens at the sun.

Do not allow direct sunlight to strike the

VIEWCAM lens or LCD monitor screen,

whether or not recording is in progress, as it

may damage the CCD sensor or LCD screen

surface. Be particularly careful when

recording outside.

• When shooting in dark places, avoid sudden

brightly lit objects or light sources, such as

the sun. Otherwise, the image may white out.

Should this happen, point the lens in a

different direction until the picture returns to

normal.

•Avoid magnetic

sources.

Using the VIEWCAM

near strong fluorescent

lights, motors,

televisions, or other

magnetic sources may adversely affect

recorded images.

•Using the VIEWCAM near a broadcasting

station or other powerful transmission

source may cause buzzing or picture

deterioration.

•Avoid shocks and

dropping.

Do not drop or otherwise

subject the VIEWCAM to hard

shocks or strong vibrations.

Bumping or striking the unit

during recording will

generate noise in the

recorded image.

•Avoid placing the

VIEWCAM in close

proximity to lighting

equipment.

The heat from

incandescent lights

may deform the

VIEWCAM, or cause it

to malfunction.

•Always respect prohibitions or restrictions

on the use of electronic equipment on

commercial flights or in other sensitive

areas.

•Be aware of the temperature and humidity.

You can use your VIEWCAM at 0⬚C to

Ⳮ40⬚C, and at 30% to 80% relative humidity.

Do not store the unit in an unventilated car in

the summer, in direct

sunlight, or near strong

heat sources; this can

result in severe damage

to the unit casing and

circuitry.

•Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or

other foreign matter could get on or inside

the VIEWCAM, and do not use or leave

your VIEWCAM in areas with excessive

smoke, steam or moisture.

Such environments can

cause malfunctions or

cause mildew to form

on the lenses. Be sure

to keep the unit in a

well-ventilated location.

•Some small, portable

tripods may be difficult to

attach and may not be

sturdy enough to support

your VIEWCAM. Be sure to

use only a strong, stable

tripod.

•When using your VIEWCAM in a cold

environment, the LCD monitor screen often

appears less bright immediately after the

power is turned on.This is not a

malfunction. To prevent the VIEWCAM from

becoming too cold, wrap it in a thick cloth

(a blanket, etc.).

AC Adapter

•The AC adapter may interfere with reception if

used near a radio.

•Prevent flammables, liquids, and metal

objects from entering the adapter.

•The adapter is a sealed unit. Do not attempt

to open or modify it.

•Do not damage, drop, or subject the adapter

to vibration.

•Do not leave the adapter in direct sunlight.

•Avoid using the adapter in humid or

extremely hot places.

Cleaning

•Many plastic parts are used in the VIEWCAM

casing. Do not use thinner, benzene or other

strong chemical cleaners. These may cause

discolouration and damage to the casing.

•Clean the casing with a soft, dry cloth. If the

casing is particularly dirty, wipe the casing

with a tightly wrung cloth dampened with a

diluted, neutral detergent. Then wipe it again

with a soft, dry cloth.

•Use a soft cloth to wipe finger marks and

other soiling off the LCD screen.

•Use a soft cloth, or compressed air and lens

paper designed for photographic lenses to

clean the lens.

LCD Monitor Screen

The VIEWCAM is equipped with a large LCD

monitor screen that allows you to record

scenes while comfortably holding the

camcorder. The LCD monitor screen can be

rotated for easy recording at high or low

angles. It also functions as a handy playback

monitor so you can enjoy what you have just

recorded.

Cautions:

•Do not apply pressure to the screen.

•Do not expose the screen to shocks, as it may

break.

•Do not place the VIEWCAM with the screen

facing down.

Note:

•Use a soft cloth to clean the screen.
