Important Safety Instructions
Before first use, read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe place for
future reference. The safety instructions reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock when correctly adhered to.
• Exposure to sunlight Never leave the HD Digital Camcorder exposed to
direct sunlight, never direct the lens toward the sun. Otherwise, the image
sensor may be damaged.
• At the beach Take special care of the HD Digital Camcorder when using it
at a sandy beach or near water. Drops of water, grains of sand, dust or salt
particles may damage the HD Digital Camcorder, so take care to prevent
these substances entering the housing.
• Protect from water To prevent water entering the camera enclosure
and causing damage, do not expose the HD Digital Camcorder to rain or
moisture.
• Protect from electromagnetic fields At specific frequencies,
electromagnetic fields may influence the picture quality of the image.
• Protect from shock and falls Do not shake, strike or drop the HD
Digital Camcorder. This may cause it to malfunction, render it incapable of
recording moving images and render the SD card unusable for image data
breakdown.
• Taking care of the lens To prevent scratching the lens, never wipe sand off
the lens with a cloth. Blow any loose sand or dirt particles off the lens. Then,
if required, use a soft cloth or tissue suitable for cleaning optical equipment
to wipe the lens lightly, adding a little lens cleaner, if required. Never use
organic solvent for cleaning the lens. Never touch the lens with fingers.
• Cleaning Remove any dirt or stains from the housing with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use inappropriate liquid or aerosol cleaners or corrosive solvents,
which may damage the housing and leak inside, causing permanent
damage.
• Storage When the HD Digital Camcorder is not in use, always take out
the batteries. Then store it in a cool, dry and well ventilated place, away
from dust and chemicals. Never store it in areas with excessive heat,
humidity or dust to prevent failure.
• Long-term storage During long-term storage, we recommend operating
the HD Digital Camcorder on occasion and checking whether it operates
normally before using it regularly again.

protect switch, which can prevent deleting or formatting the image files
unintentionally.
