Precautions

USE & LOCATION

≥TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD ... Your

Camcorder and power supply should not be

exposed to rain or moisture. Do not connect the

power supply or operate your Camcorder if it

gets wet. Your Camcorder has been designed

for outdoor use, however it is not designed to

sustain direct exposure to water, rain, sleet,

snow, sand, dust, or a direct splashing from a

pool or even a cup of coffee. This action could

permanently damage the internal parts of your

Camcorder. Do not attempt to disassemble this

unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Unplug your Camcorder from the power supply

before cleaning.

≥DO NOT AIM YOUR CAMCORDER AT THE

SUN OR OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS

≥DO NOT LEAVE THE CAMCORDER WITH

THE EVF AIMED DIRECTLY AT THE SUN AS

THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE

INTERNAL PARTS OF THE EVF

≥DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR CAMCORDER TO

EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ... Such

as, in direct sunlight, inside a closed car, next

to a heater, etc... This action could permanently

damage the internal parts of your Camcorder.

≥AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN

TEMPERATURE ... If the unit is suddenly

moved from a cold place to a warm place,

moisture may form on the tape and inside the

unit.

≥DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAMCORDER OR

THE POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN

NOT IN USE.

≥STORAGE OF YOUR CAMCORDER ... Store

and handle your Camcorder in a manner that will

not subject it to unnecessary movement (avoid

shaking and striking). Your Camcorder contains

a sensitive pick-up device which could be

damaged by improper handling or storage.

CARE

≥TO CLEAN YOUR CAMCORDER ... Do not use

strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning

your Camcorder body.

≥TO PROTECT THE LENS ... Do not touch the

surface of the lens with your hand. Use a

commercial Camcorder lens solution and lens

paper when cleaning the lens. Improper cleaning

can scratch the lens coating.

≥TO PROTECT THE FINISH OF YOUR

CAMCORDER ... Before handling your

Camcorder, make sure your hands and face are

free from any chemical products, such as suntan

lotion, as it may damage the finish.

ª Using the Battery

Before use, fully charge the Battery.

≥We recommend using a Panasonic Battery.

≥We cannot guarantee the quality of this

Camcorder when batteries from other

companies are used.

1 Attach the Battery to the AC Adaptor and
