NOTES:
• The rating plate and safety caution are on the
bottom of the unit.
• The serial number plate is on the battery
mount of the camera.
CAUTION:
The mains plug shall remain readily operable.
• Remove the mains plug immediately if the
camcorder functions abnormally.
WARNING:
•The camcorder should not be exposed to
excessive heat such as direct sunshine, fire
or the like.
•The battery pack and the camcorder with
battery installed should not be exposed to
excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire
or like.
CAUTION:
•When the equipment is installed in a cabinet
or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient
space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10
cm or more on both sides, on top and at the
rear).
•When discarding batteries, environmental
problems must be considered and the local
rules or laws governing the disposal of these

This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead to
the malfunctioning of internal circuitry.

surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious
damage to the unit.

the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or
changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of
your equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally,
or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
