safety
• Always read and observe the instructions and information in the documen-
tation supplied with your TV or computer before connecting the camcor-
der.
• If the camcorder is exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, conden-
sation can lead to the accumulation of moisture which can cause a short
circuit. In this case wait until the device has reached ambient temperature
before use.
• Never place any burning objects such as candles or any objects contain-
ing liquids such as vases, cups or glasses next to the camcorder.
• Keep the camcorder away from high-frequency and magnetic interference
sources (e.g. TVs, mobile phones, loudspeakers) to prevent malfunctions.
• Never open the battery compartment while recording movies or photos, as
saved image data could be corrupted as a result.
