For safety, strictly observe the following instructions.
• Do not open the cabinet.
• Prevent inflammables, water and metallic objects from entering
the unit.
• Do not use the unit when there is lightning in the vicinity.
Disconnect the power cable of connected equipment.
Avoid using the unit under the following conditions.
• Places subject to excessive humidity or dust.
• Near appliances generating strong magnetic or electric fields
(speakers, broadcasting antennas, etc.).
• Places subject to soot or steam such as near a cooking stove.
• Places subject to excessive shock or vibration.
• Near a television set (rolling pictures or howling might result).
• Extremely hot places.
Do not expose the unit to high temperatures over S0°C for
long periods.
If the unit should be subjected to direct sunlight, or left in a closed
car in summer, or placed near a heater, the CCD and the auto-focus
sensor may deteriorate and the cabinet may become deformed.
Furthermore, this also may cause the transistors and other
electronic and mechanical parts to malfunction. Remember the
following;
• Do not leave the unit in places of over 50°C.
• Do not use the unit in places of over 40°C.
• Do not use the unit in places of below 0°C.
• Protect the unit from excessively dry or excessively humid
conditions (below 35% or above 80% humidity).
• For long storage, select a place between -10“C and 30°C.
Take special care for protection of the unit.
• Do not allow the unit to become wet.
• Do not leave the unit in closed cars on hot summer days.
• Take special care not to drop the unit or strike it against hard
objects. Protect from shocks during transportation.
Make it a rule to observe the following instructions.
• Do not remove the battery pack or disconnect other power
supply units during recording or playback before pressing the
PQWER switch to QFF. If not observed, this will cause tape
damage.
• When the unit is not in use, remove the battery pack.
Keep the lens and viewfinder eyepiece always clean.
• When the lens is dirty or dusty, blow it off first and then gently
wipe with a soft brush or lens cleaning paper.
• The lens is likely to become moldy if left dirty.
Be careful not to damage the CCD and auto-focus sensor.
• Do not keep the lens directed at extremely bright objects such
as the sun or other light sources for long periods. Although the
CCD is less susceptible to such burn than a tube would be,
caution should be exercised when using this unit. Most
importantly, the lens should be capped except while actually
shooting.
• Do not direct the eyepiece of the viewfinder at the sun.
