ª Tips for using your Camera/Recorder
When you use your Camera/Recorder on a rainy or
snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water
enters the Camera/Recorder.
≥Water may cause the Camera/Recorder or Cassette to
malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)
≥If sea water splashes onto the Camera/Recorder, wet a
soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the
Camera/Recorder body carefully. Then, wipe it again
thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
Keep the Camera/Recorder away from magnetically
charged equipment (such as a Microwave oven, TV,
game equipment, etc.)
≥If you use the Camera/Recorder near a TV, images or
sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave
radiation.
≥Strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors
may damage previous recording on the tape, or images
may be distorted.
≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a
microprocessor may adversely affect the Camera/
Recorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.
≥If the Camera/Recorder is affected by magnetically
charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off
the Camera/Recorder power and detach the Battery or AC
Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again.
Thereafter, turn on the Camera/Recorder power.
Do not use your Camera/Recorder near radio
transmitters or high-voltage lines.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-
voltage lines, recorded images or sounds may be
adversely affected.
Do not use this Camera/Recorder for surveillance
purpose or other business use.
≥If you use the Camera/Recorder for a long time, the
internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may
cause malfunction.
≥This Camera/Recorder is not intended for industrial use.
When you use your Camera/Recorder on a beach or
similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get into the
Camera/Recorder.
≥Sand or dust may damage the Camera/Recorder or
Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and
ejecting the Cassette.)
Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the
Camera/Recorder.
≥If the Camera/Recorder is sprayed with such chemicals,
the Camera/Recorder body may deform and the surface
finish may peel off.
≥Do not keep rubber or plastic product in contact with the
Camera/Recorder for a long period of time.
When cleaning the Camera/Recorder, do not use any
solvent, such as benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc.
≥The Camera/Recorder body may become damaged and
the surface finish may peel off.
≥Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC
Cable from the AC Jack.
≥Wipe the Camera/Recorder with a soft, dry cloth. To
remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in
a detergent diluted with water and afterward finish wiping
with a dry cloth.
≥For storing or transporting the Camera/Recorder, place it in
a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the
coating on the Camera/Recorder body from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach
the Battery from the Camera/Recorder or pull out the AC
Cable from AC Jack.
≥If the Cassette is left in the Camera/Recorder, the tape
sags and deteriorates.
≥If you leave the Battery attached to the Camera/Recorder
for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the
Battery will not function even after it is recharged.
ª About the AC Adaptor
≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or
extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may continue flashing,
and the Battery may not charge. After the temperature of
the Battery has decreased or increased sufficiently,
charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp
continues to flash even after the Battery temperature has
decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or AC
Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please contact your
dealer.
≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time than
normal.
≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception
may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or more
away from radio.
≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring
sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from the AC
Jack. (If they are left connected, a samll amount of
electricity is consumed.)
≥Always, keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery
clean.
