Camcorder care
• When the camcorder is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the power source
and remove the tape. Periodically turn on the power, operate the camera and player
sections and play back a tape for about 3 minutes.
• Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove dust. If there are fingerprints on it, remove
them with a soft cloth.
•
Clean the camcorder body with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent which may damage the finish.
• Do not let sand get into the camcorder. When you use the camcorder on a sandy
beach or in a dusty place, protect it from the sand or dust. Sand or dust may cause the
unit to malfunction, and sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired.

Charging
• Use only a lithium ion type battery pack.
• Place the battery pack on a flat surface without vibration during charging.
• The battery pack will get hot during charging. This is normal.
Others
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when not in use for a long time. To disconnect
the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
•
Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
• Do not bend the AC power cord forcibly, or put a heavy object on it. This will
damage the cord and may cause a fire or electrical shock.

connecting plate. If this happens, a short may occur and the unit may be damaged.
• Always keep the metal contacts clean.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.
• While the unit is in use, particularly during charging, keep it away from AM
receivers and video equipment because it will disturb AM reception and video
operation.
