Do not use the camcorder near strong radio waves or magnetism:
- If the camcorder is used near strong radio waves or magnetism, such as near a radio wave
tower or electric appliances, noise could enter video and audio that are being recorded. During playback
of normally recorded video and audio, noise may also be present in photo and sound.
At worst the camcorder could malfunction.
Do not expose the camcorder to soot or steam:
- Thick soot or steam could damage the camcorder case or cause malfunctions.
Do not use the camcorder near corrosive gas:
- If the camcorder is used in a place where there is dense exhaust gas generated by gasoline or diesel engines, or corrosive
gas such as hydrogen sulphide, the external or internal terminals could corrode, disabling normal operation, or the battery
connection terminals could corrode, so that power will not turn on.
Do not use the camcorder near ultrasonic humidifier:
- Calcium and other chemicals dissolved in water could scatter in the air, and white particles could adhere to the optical head of
the camcorder, which could cause it to operate abnormally.
Do not clean the camcorder body with benzene or thinner:
- The coating of exterior could peel off or the case surface could deteriorate.
- When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow the instructions.
Keep the memory card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains
plug shall be readily operable.
