fuse cover.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off be sure to remove
the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf,
make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow
for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at
the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes.
(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or
cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should
be placed on the apparatus.
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must
be considered and the local rules or laws governing the
disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing.
Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with
water.
Also do not place any containers filled with water or liquids
(such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted
plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or
electric shock may be caused.)
Do not point the lens or the viewfinder directly into the sun.
This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead to the
malfunctioning of internal circuitry. There is also a risk of
fire or electric shock.
CAUTION!
The following notes concern possible physical damage to
the camcorder and to the user.
When carrying, be sure to always securely attach and use
the provided strap. Carrying or holding the camcorder by
the viewfinder and/or the LCD monitor can result in
dropping the unit, or in a malfunction.
Take care not to get your finger caught in the cassette
holder cover. Do not let children operate the camcorder, as
they are particularly susceptible to this type of injury.
Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel surfaces. It
could tip over, causing serious damage to the camcorder.
CAUTION!
Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to the
camcorder and leaving it on top of the TV is not
recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the
camcorder to fall, resulting in damage.
