Memory Card
 Format new memory cards with the camcorder. Memory cards formatted with other
devices such as a computer may not operate correctly.
 We recommend saving backups of memory card images on your computer’s hard drive
or other external memory device. Image data may be corrupted or lost due to memory
card defects or exposure to static electricity. Canon Inc. makes no warranties for
corrupted or lost data.
 Do not turn off the camcorder, disconnect the power source, open the memory card
cover or remove the memory card while the card access indicator is flashing.
 Do not use memory cards in places subject to strong magnetic fields.
 Do not leave memory cards in places subject to high humidity and high temperature.
 Do not disassemble memory cards.
 Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to shocks and do not expose them to
water.
 Moving a memory card rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation to form on its external and internal surfaces. If condensation forms on the
card, put it aside until the droplets have evaporated completely.
 Do not touch or expose the terminals to dust or dirt.
 Check the direction before inserting the memory card. Forcing a memory card
backwards into the slot may damage the memory card or the camcorder.
 Do not remove the label from the memory card, or affix other labels on the memory
card.
Lithium Button Battery
 Do not pick up the battery using tweezers or other metal tools as this will cause a short
circuit.
 Wipe the battery with a clean dry cloth to ensure proper contact.
 Keep the battery out of reach of children. If it is swallowed, seek medical assistance
immediately. The battery case may break and the battery fluids may damage stomach
and intestines.
 Do not disassemble, heat or immerse the battery in water to avoid the risk of explosion.
Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to retain date/time and other
settings. The built-in lithium battery is recharged while you use the camcorder, however, it
discharges when the usage time is short, and will become totally discharged when you do
not use the camcorder for about 3 months. In such case, recharge the built-in lithium
battery: Connect the power adapter to the camcorder and leave it connected for 24 hours
with the POWER switch set to OFF.
