heavy dirt. Then wipe again with a dry cloth.

damage the monitor. Close the LCD monitor.

To clean the lens

with lens cleaning paper.

benzine or alcohol.

● Cleaning should be done only after the battery

pack has been removed or other power units have
been disconnected.

Cleaning The Camcorder

Battery Packs

The supplied battery
pack is a lithium-ion
battery. Before using the
supplied battery pack or
an optional battery pack,
be sure to read the
following cautions:

To avoid hazards

... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the terminals. When

transporting, make sure the provided battery cap
is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is
misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

... do not modify or disassemble.
... do not expose the battery to temperatures

exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery to
overheat, explode or catch fire.

... use only specified chargers.

To prevent damage and prolong service

life

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge in an environment where temperatures

are within the tolerances shown in the chart
below. This is a chemical reaction type battery —
cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction,
while warmer temperatures can prevent
complete charging.

... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to

high temperatures will increase natural discharge
and shorten service life.

... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery

every 6 months when storing the battery pack
over a long period time.

... remove from charger or powered unit when not in

use, as some machines use current even when
switched off.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a
large power capacity. However, when one is
exposed to cold temperatures (below 10°C),
its usage time becomes shorter and it may
cease to function. If this happens, place the
battery pack in your pocket or other warm,
protected place for a short time, then re-
attach it to the camcorder.
