Proper Care and Storage
• Keep dust and grit from entering the
camcorder’s cassette door. Dust and
grit are abrasive and will cause
excessive wear to both the camcorder’s
recording/playback heads and
cassettes.
• Always close the lens cover when the
camcorder is not in use.
• Before handling your camcorder, make
sure your hands and face are free from
any chemical products such as suntan
lotion, as it may damage the finish.
The camcorder can be damaged by
improper storage or handling. Do not
subject the camcorder to swinging,
shaking, or dropping.
Do not store the camcorder in
temperatures below -22°F (-30°C) or
above 149°F (65°C).
W hen the camcorder is not in use,
always remove the cassette and AC
adapter/charger or battery.
Retain the original carton for future
storage or shipping purposes.
Things to Avoid
• Do not attempt to disassemble your
camcorder. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
• Avoid operating your camcorder
immediately after moving it from a
cold location to a warm location. Give
the camcorder 1-1/2 to 2 hours to reach
a stable temperature before inserting a
cassette. W hen the camcorder is
moved from cold to warm,
condensation may cause the tape to
stick to the headwheel and damage the
headwheel or tape.

or other bright objects.

sunlight for extended periods of time.
The resulting heat buildup could

any component becomes wet, turn off
