• Check the direction before inserting the memory card. Forcing a memory card into the slot if it is not correctly oriented may damage the memory card or the camcorder. • Do not attach any labels or stickers on the memory card. • SD/SDHC memory cards have a physical switch to prevent writing on the card so as to avoid the accidental erasure of the card's content. To write protect the memory card, set the switch to the LOCK position. LOCK switch Disposal When you delete movies or initialize the built-in memory ( / only) or memory card, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not physically erased. Take the necessary precautions when you dispose of the camcorder or memory card, for example by physically damaging it to prevent the leakage of private data. / If giving the camcorder to another person, initialize the built-in memory using the [COMPL.INIT.] setting ( 31), fill it up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again using the same method. This makes recovering the original recordings very difficult. Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep the date/time and other settings. The builtin lithium battery is recharged while you use the camcorder; however, it will become totally discharged if you do not use the camcorder for about 3 months. To recharge the built-in lithium battery: Connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder and leave it connected for about 24 hours with the camcorder off. 101
