Precautions

General precautions

• Do not try to disassemble the product yourself, which may

damage the product or cause electric shock.

• Keep the Digital Video Camera away from children and animals

to prevent them from swallowing the battery or small

accessories.

• Stop using the Digital Video Camera if any kind of liquid or

foreign object enters it. If this happens, power off the Digital

Video Camera and contact your dealer for help.

• Do not operate the Digital Video Camera with wet hands: this

may cause electric shock.

• The Digital Video Camera may be damaged in a

high-temperature environment. This Digital Video Camera is

designed for use in a temperature range of between 0°C and

40°C (32°F and 104°F).

• Do not use or store the product in a dusty, dirty or sandy place

or in an area that is close to air-conditioning or heaters.

• It is normal that the temperature of the Digital Video Camera

body rises if it is in operation for a long period of time.

• Do not open the battery cover whilst an image is being

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

image impossible, but it may also corrupt other image data

already stored.

• Before using this Digital Video Camera for important occasions

(such as weddings or overseas trips), be sure to test it in order

to ensure proper operation.

11

Power Supply

• Be sure to use the type of battery or battery charger that is

suitable for this Digital Video Camera. Using any other type of

battery or battery charger may damage the equipment and

render the guarantee void.

• Make sure the battery is inserted in the correct position. Error in

the orientation of the battery may damage this product and

result in fire.

• Remove the battery to avoid leakage of battery fluid when the

camera is not to be used for a long period of time.

• Remove a dropped or damaged battery immediately to avoid

leakage of battery fluid or abnormal expansion.
