Precautions

General precautions

• Do not store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas, as its

components may be damaged.

• Do not store the product in a hot environment. High

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage

batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.

• Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product

warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside,

which may damage the electronic circuits.

• Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.

High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric

shock when exposed.

• Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may

damage the internal components.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong

detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a

slightly damp soft cloth.

• Do not remove the memory card while a video is being

recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current

video impossible, it can also corrupt other data already stored

on file.

• If the product or any of its accessories are not working

properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center.

The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange

for the product to be repaired.
