Important for United Kingdom

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of

which is indicated on the pin face of the plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same

rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse

cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers

are available from your dealer.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points

in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved

extension lead or consult your dealer.

If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having

first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue=Neutral, Brown=Live

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your

plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE

or BLACK.

The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured

BROWN or RED. On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by the earth

symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

Cautions When Using

Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:

• The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a

sharp object.

• If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear soon,

turn the DVD video camera/recorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.

• Do not place the DVD video camera/recorder with the open LCD screen down.

• Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD video camera/recorder.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) and viewfinder:

• The LCD screen and viewfinder are the products of highly precise technology. Among the total number

of pixels (approx. 120,000 pixels for LCD monitor and approx. 110,000 pixels for viewfinder), 0.01% or

less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as coloured dots (red, blue, green). This shows

the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording.

• The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD video camera/

recorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. Normal

brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the DVD video camera/recorder rises.

Hold the DVD video camera/recorder correctly:

• Do not hold the viewfinder or LCD monitor when lifting the DVD video camera/recorder: The

viewfinder or LCD monitor could detach and the DVD video camera/recorder may fall.

Do not subject the DVD video camera/recorder to impact:

• This DVD video camera/recorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it

against a hard object or let it fall.

• Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder on a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations

or impact.

No sand or dust!

• Fine sand or dust entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause

malfunctions or defects.

No water or oil!

• Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause electric

shock, malfunctions or defects.

English

7

Heat on surface of product:

• The surface of the DVD video camera/recorder will be slightly warm, but this does not indicate a fault.

Screen on connected TV:

• Never leave the disc navigation screen, still image or camera image displayed on your TV to which the

DVD video camera/recorder is connected: Doing so could result in displayed image retention or

phosphor degradation of TV screen.

Be careful of ambient temperature:

• Using the DVD video camera/recorder in a place where the temperature is over 40°C or under 0°C will

result in abnormal recording/playback.

• Take care that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder, when connected to PC does not

rise excessively (reference for usage: approx. 30 minutes at about 30ºC).

• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder on beach sand or in a closed vehicle where the

temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunctions.

Do not point directly at the sun:

• If direct sunlight strikes the lens or viewfinder, the DVD video camera/recorder could malfunction or

a fire could occur.

• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight: This

could cause malfunctions.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near TV or radio:

• This could cause noise to appear on the TV screen or in radio broadcasts.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near strong radio waves or magnetism:

• If the DVD video camera/recorder is used near strong ra dio waves or magnetism, such as near a radio

wave tower or electric appliances, noise could enter video and audio that are being recorded. During

playback of normally recorded video and audio, noise may also be present in picture and sound.

At worst the DVD video camera/recorder could malfunction.

Do not expose the DVD video camera/recorder to soot or steam:

• Thick soot or steam could damage the DVD video camera/recorder case or cause malfunctions.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near corrosive gas:

• If the DVD video camera/recorder is used in a place where there is dense exhaust gas generated by

petrol or diesel engines, or corrosive gas such as hydrogen sulfide, the external or internal terminals

could corrode, disabling normal operation, or the battery connecting terminals could corrode, so that

power will not turn on.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder near ultrasonic humidifier:

• With some water in humidifier, calcium and other chemicals dissolved in water could scatter in the air,

and white particles could adhere to the optical head of the DVD video camera/recorder, which could

cause it to operate abnormally.

Do not expose the DVD video camera/recorder to insecticide:

• Insecticide entering the DVD video camera/recorder could dirty the lens in laser pickup block, and

in such a case the DVD video camera/recorder might not operate normally. Turn the DVD video

camera/recorder off and cover it with vinyl sheet, etc. before using insecticide.

Do not use a generally available 8 cm CD lens cleaner:

• Cleaning the lens is not necessary when using this DVD video camera/recorder in the usual way.

it again.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder for a long uninterrupted period of time:

• This DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used for a long time continuously as a surveillance

camera/monitor. If you use the DVD video camera/recorder for a long continuous period of time, the

temperature of DVD video camera/recorder could exceed a limit and the recording/playback

operation could be slowed down: In this case, turn it off and wait for a while before using it again.

Do not turn the DVD video camera/recorder off while the ACCESS/PC indicator or

CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking:

• The ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or

blinking to show that data is being written to disc or card, or

being read from it. At this time, do not do any of the

following, so as not to damage the data:

− Remove battery

− Disconnect AC adapter/charger

− Plug or unplug PC connection cable

− Remove disc or card

− Subject DVD video camera/recorder to severe vibrations

or impact.
