Mini DVD Disc
The recording surface of DVD discs is
extremely delicate. If handled or stored in
an incorrect manner, the camcorder may
stop recognizing or may not be able to
play back the disc. Be sure to observe the
following precautions when storing/
handling your discs.
Always remove the disc from the camcorder
after you finish recording.
Do not store the camcorder with a disc
left inside.
Keep the disc clean of dust, dirt or
smudges. Even very small smudges or
particles of dust can lead to problems
when recording or playing back the disc.
Carefully inspect the recording surface of
the disc before inserting it in the
camcorder. If the disc gets dirty use a dry,
soft lens-cleaning cloth to remove any
fingerprints, dirt buildup or smudges from
the disc surface. Clean the disc in a radial
motion from its center outwards.
Never use a chemically treated cloth or
flammable solvents such as paint thinner
to clean the disc.
Do not bend, scratch or wet the disc
and do not subject it to strong shocks.
Do not attach any labels or stickers on
the disc surfaces. The disc may not rotate
in a stable manner and this may cause
malfunctions.
To protect the disc, return it to its case
for storage.
When writing on the label side of the
disc, avoid hard tip pens. Use waterproof
soft-tipped felt pens instead.
Moving a disc rapidly between hot and
cold temperatures may cause
condensation to form on its surfaces. If
condensation forms on the disc, put it
aside until the water droplets have
evaporated completely.
Never expose the disc to direct sunlight
and do not store it in places subject to
high temperatures or high humidity.
Always finalize a disc before inserting it
into an external DVD device. Failing to do
so can result in the loss of the recorded
data.
Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
The camcorder has a built-in
rechargeable lithium battery to keep the
date/time and other settings. The built-in
lithium battery is recharged while you use
the camcorder, however, it will become
totally discharged if you do not use the
camcorder for about 3 months.
