RCA CC543 - Manual (Page 69)

Keep dust and grit from entering the
camcorder’s cassette door. Dust and grit
are abrasive and cause excessive wear to
both the camcorder’s recording and
playback heads and cassettes.
Before handling your camcorder, make
sure your hands and face are free from
any chemical products such as suntan
lotion, as it may damage the finish.
Do not touch the lens with your fingers!
The oil from your skin may damage the
lens. To clean the lens, blow it with a
blower brush, and gently wipe it with a
lens-cleaning tissue and commercially
prepared cleaning solution designed for
use on camera lens. Improper cleaning
may scratch the lens.
To clean the camcorder’s exterior,
remove any power source. Gently wipe
the camcorder with a clean soft cloth.
Use of strong or abrasive cleaning
products, such as those containing
alcohol or benzine, may damage the
camcorder.
The camcorder can be damaged by
improper storage or handling.
Do not
subject the camcorder to swinging,
shaking, or dropping.
Do not store the camcorder in
temperatures below or
above
Do not aim your camcorder at the sun or
other bright objects or leave your
camcorder in direct sunlight. Doing so
could permanently damage the
camcorder’s internal parts.
Avoid operating your camcorder after
moving it from a cold location to a warm
location. Moisture may cause the tape to
stick to the headwheel and damage the
headwheel or tape. Give the camcorder 2
to 3 hours to reach a stable temperature
before inserting a cassette.
Do not operate or leave your camcorder
in extremely humid environments.
Do not operate the camcorder for
extended periods in temperatures below

either component becomes wet, turn
off
the power and take the unit to an
Authorized RCA Camcorder Servicenter.
Retain the original carton for future
storage or shipping purposes.
When the camcorder is not in use, always
remove the cassette and AC adapter/
charger or battery.
