Battery Packs
The supplied battery
pack is a lithium-ion
battery. Before using the
supplied battery pack or
an optional battery pack,
be sure to read the
following cautions:
To avoid hazards
...
do not
burn.
...
do not
short-circuit the terminals. When
transporting, make sure the provided battery cap
is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is
misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
...
do not
modify or disassemble.
...
do not
expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery to
overheat, explode or catch fire.
...use only specified chargers.
To prevent damage and prolong service
life
...do not subject to unnecessary shock.
...charge in an environment where temperatures
are within the tolerances shown in the chart
below. This is a chemical reaction type battery —
cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction,
while warmer temperatures can prevent
complete charging.
...store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to
high temperatures will increase natural discharge
and shorten service life.
...fully charge and then fully discharge the battery
every 6 months when storing the battery pack
over a long period time.
...remove from charger or powered unit when not in
use, as some machines use current even when
switched off.
NOTES:
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
Temperature Range Specifications
Charging: 10°C to 35°C
Operation: 0°C to 40°C
Storage: –20°C to 50°C
The lower the temperature, the longer recharging
takes.
Charging times are for a fully discharged battery
pack.
Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be
sure to read the following cautions:
During use
...make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV mark.
...be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes
automatically erases the previously recorded
video and audio signals.
...make sure the cassette is positioned properly
when inserting.
...do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly
without allowing the tape to run at all. This
slackens the tape and can result in damage.
...do not open the front tape cover. This exposes
the tape to fingerprints and dust.
Store cassettes
...away from heaters or other heat sources.
...out of direct sunlight.
...where they won’t be subject to unnecessary
shock or vibration.
...where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic
fields (such as those generated by motors,
transformers or magnets).
...vertically, in their original cases.
Memory Cards
To properly use and store your memory cards,
be sure to read the following cautions:
During use
...make sure the memory card bears the SD or
MultiMediaCard mark.
...make sure the memory card is positioned
properly when inserting.
While the memory card is being accessed
(during recording, playback, deletion,
initialisation, etc.)
...never unload the memory card and never turn off
the camcorder.
Store memory cards
...away from heaters or other heat sources.
...out of direct sunlight.
...where they won’t be subject to unnecessary
shock or vibration.
...where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic
fields (such as those generated by motors,
transformers or magnets).
