Do not point directly at the sun.
• If direct sunlight strikes the lens, the camcorder could malfunction or a fire could
occur.
• Do not leave the camcorder with the LCD monitor exposed to direct sunlight: This
could cause malfunctions.
No sand or dust!
• Fine sand or dust entering the camcorder or AC adapter/charger could cause
malfunctions or defects.
Heat on surface of product
• As the disc mechanism will be very hot immediately after use, do not touch the
metallic parts.
• The surfaces of the camcorder, AC adapter/charger and battery will be slightly warm,
but this does not indicate a fault.
Be careful of ambient temperature.
• If the temperature of this camcorder is too high or too low, normal recording/playback
may not be possible.
• Take care that the temperature of this camcorder, when connected to PC does not rise
excessively.
• If you need to use the camcorder for recording/dubbing to BD/DVD in a place where
the temperature is high, avoid overheating by using the camcorder intermittently.
Be careful of moisture condensation.
• When you move the camcorder between places where the difference in temperatures is
great—such as entering a lodge from a ski slope or going out of a cooled room or
vehicle—condensation (vapor in air warmed or cooled to water droplets) could occur
on the lens and/or inside the camcorder. If condensation occurs, do not open the disc
compartment lid or card slot cover if possible. If condensation occurs on the lens, wipe
it off with a soft, dry cloth. Even if the external surface of camcorder has dried,
condensation may remain inside. Therefore, turn the camcorder off and leave it in a dry
place for at least 1–2 hours before using it again.
Do not use the camcorder near strong radio waves or magnetism.
• If the camcorder is used near strong radio waves or magnetism, such as a radio wave
tower or electric appliances, recording or playback may stop, or noise could enter the
video and audio that are being recorded. During playback of normally recorded video
and audio, noise may also be present in picture and sound.
At worst the camcorder could malfunction.
Do not expose the camcorder to insecticide.
• Insecticide entering the camcorder could dirty the pickup, and in such a case, the
camcorder might not operate normally.
Do not use a generally available 8 cm CD lens cleaner.
• Cleaning the DVD lens is not necessary when using this camcorder in the usual way.
• Using 8 cm CD lens cleaner could cause this camcorder to be faulty.
• If you have to clean the lens, use a Hitachi Maxell cleaner that is exclusively for 8 cm
DVD discs.
