Important Information Important Information Precautions Use & Care • After operation, remove the batteries from the unit. • Do not aim the lens at the sun. Do not allow direct sunlight to strike the Digital Recorder lens or LCD monitor, whether recording is in progress or not, as it may damage the lens or may result in severe damage to the eyes. Be particularly careful when recording outside. • Avoid pointing the lens into direct sunlight or other strong light sources. The concentrated light may cause a fire. • Avoid magnetic sources. Using the Digital Recorder near strong fluorescent lights, motors, televisions, or other magnetic sources may adversely affect recorded images. • Be sure to back up all important files on other media to protect against damages or loss of image files. Malfunction, repairs, misoperation, static electricity or noise may delete data on the SmartMedia card. • Remember to remove the SmartMedia card, turn off the power, and remove the batteries when the Digital Recorder is not in use. • Using the Digital Recorder near a broadcasting station or other powerful transmission source may cause buzzing or picture deterioration. 3 • Avoid shocks and dropping. Do not drop or otherwise subject the Digital Recorder to hard shocks or strong vibrations. Bumping or striking the unit during recording will generate noise in the recorded image. • Avoid placing the Digital Recorder in close proximity to lighting equipment. The heat from incandescent lights may deform the Digital Recorder, or cause it to malfunction. • Always respect prohibitions or restrictions on the use of electronic equipment on commercial flights or in other sensitive areas. • Be aware of the temperature and humidity. You can use your Digital Recorder at 0°C to +40°C (32°F to 104°F) and at 30% to 80% relative humidity. Do not store the unit in an unventilated car in the summer, in direct sunlight, or near strong heat sources; this can result in severe damage to the unit's casing and circuitry. Do not use or keep the Digital Recorder and the SmartMedia card in areas subject to extremely high temperature.
