To clean the LCD screen

If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen

dirty, it is recommended you use a soft

cloth to clean it. When you use the LCD

Cleaning Kit (optional), do not apply the

cleaning liquid directly to the LCD screen.

Use cleaning paper moistened with the

liquid.

On handling the casing

•

If the casing is soiled, clean the VCR body with

a soft cloth lightly moistened with water, and

then wipe the casing with a dry soft cloth.

•

Avoid the following to avoid damage to the

finish:

–

Using chemicals such as thinner, benzine,

alcohol, chemical cloths, repellent, insecticide

and sunscreen.

–

Handling the VCR with above substances on

your hands.

–

Leaving the casing in contact with rubber or

vinyl objects for a long period of time.

On charging the pre-installed

rechargeable battery

Your VCR has a pre-installed rechargeable

battery to retain the date, time, and other

settings even when the POWER switch is

set to OFF (CHG). The pre-installed

rechargeable battery is always charged

while your VCR is connected to the wall

outlet (wall socket) via the AC Adaptor or

while the battery pack is attached. The

rechargeable battery will be fully

discharged in about

3 months

if you do

not use your VCR at all without the AC

Adaptor connected or the battery pack

attached. Use your VCR after charging the

pre-installed rechargeable battery.

However, even if the pre-installed

rechargeable battery is not charged, the

VCR operation will not be affected as long

as you are not recording the date.

x

Procedures

Connect your VCR to a wall outlet (wall

socket) using the supplied AC Adaptor,

then leave it with the POWER switch set to

OFF (CHG) for more than 24 hours.
