Notes Regarding the Battery Pack
Notes Regarding Video Head Cleaning
- 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 device is in CAMCORDER mode with
a tape installed, and it is left in STBY mode
without being operated for more than
5 minutes it will automatically turn itself off to
protect against unnecessary battery
discharge.
- Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
- A brand new battery pack will not be charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when
recording for long periods, because the LCD uses up more battery
power.
- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video
heads regularly. If the picture is distorted, 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.
* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your
local dealer. The batteries need to be dealt with as chemical waste.
* Be careful not to drop the battery when you release it
