Maintenance

Camcorder

Clean the camcorder body with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent which may damage the finish.

Clean the lens with a commercially available blower.

LCD screen

If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen dirty, we recommend using a LCD
Cleaning Cloth (not supplied) to clean the LCD screen.

Charging the vanadium-lithium battery in your camcorder

Your camcorder is supplied with a vanadium-lithium battery installed so as to retain
the date and time, etc., regardless of the setting of the POWER switch. The vanadium-
lithium battery is always charged as long as you are using your camcorder. The battery,
however, will discharge gradually if you do not use your camcorder. It will be
completely discharged in about four months if you do not use your camcorder at all.
Even if the vanadium-lithium battery is not charged, it will not affect the camcorder
operation. To retain the date and time, etc., charge the battery if it is discharged.

Charging the vanadium-lithium battery:
Connect your camcorder to house current using the AC adaptor/charger supplied with
your camcorder, and leave your camcorder with the POWER switch turned off for more
than 24 hours.
