Maintenance information and precautions
AC power adaptor
•Unplug the unit from a wall outlet when you are not using the unit for a long time. To
disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the power cord itself.
•Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or if the unit has been dropped or
damaged.
•Do not bend the power cord forcibly, or place a heavy object on it. This will damage
the cord and may cause fire or electrical shock.
•Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the
connecting section. If this happens, a short may occur and the unit may be damaged.
•Always keep metal contacts clean.
•Do not disassemble the unit.
•Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.
•While the unit is in use, particularly during charging, keep it away from AM receivers
and video equipment. AM receivers and video equipment disturb AM reception and
video operation.
•The unit becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
•Do not place the unit in locations that are:
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty

About care and storage of the lens
•Wipe the surface of the lens clean with a soft cloth in the following instance:
– When there are fingerprints on the lens surface
– In hot or humid locations
– When the lens is used in environments such as at the seaside
•Store the lens in a well-ventilated location subject to little dirt or dust.
To prevent mold from occurring, periodically perform the above preventive tasks.
We recommend turning on and operating the video camera recorder about once per
month to keep the video camera recorder in an optimum state for a long time.
