Notes and Safety Instructions
■ When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
■ Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the camcorder.
Notes regarding the Battery Pack
■ Be sure to use a recommended battery pack as described on page 24. The batteries are available at a SAMSUNG retailer.
■ Make sure that the Battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
■ To preserve battery power, keep your Camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
■ If your Camcorder is in REC mode, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape
inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
■ Make sure that the Battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Do not drop the Battery pack. Dropping the Battery pack may damage it.
■ A brand new Battery pack is not charged.
Before using the Battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
■ Fully discharging a Lithium-Ion battery damages the internal cells. The Battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully
discharged.
■ To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
■ It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD screen when recording for long periods, because the LCD screen
consumes more battery power.
Notes regarding the Video Head Cleaning
■ To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly.
If a square block-shape distorts playback, or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty.
If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.
■ Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.
