Precautions

USE & LOCATION

≥TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD ... Your Palmcorder and

power supply should not be exposed to rain or moisture.

Do not connect the power supply or operate your

Palmcorder if it gets wet. Your Palmcorder 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 Palmcorder. Do not attempt to disassemble

this unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Unplug your Palmcorder from the power supply before

cleaning.

≥DO NOT AIM YOUR PALMCORDER AT THE SUN OR

OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS

≥DO NOT LEAVE THE PALMCORDER WITH THE EVF

AIMED DIRECTLY AT THE SUN AS THIS MAY CAUSE

DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE EVF

≥DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR PALMCORDER 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

Palmcorder.

≥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 PALMCORDER OR THE POWER

SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT IN USE.

≥STORAGE OF YOUR PALMCORDER ... Store and handle

your Palmcorder in a manner that will not subject it to

unnecessary movement (avoid shaking and striking). Your

Palmcorder contains a sensitive pick-up device which

could be damaged by improper handling or storage.

CARE

≥TO CLEAN YOUR PALMCORDER ... Do not use strong or

abrasive detergents when cleaning your Palmcorder body.

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

the lens with your hand. Use a commercial Palmcorder

lens solution and lens paper when cleaning the lens.

Improper cleaning can scratch the lens coating.

≥TO PROTECT THE FINISH OF YOUR PALMCORDER ...

Before handling your Palmcorder, make sure your hands

and face are free from any chemical products, such as

suntan lotion, as it may damage the finish.

This Product has fluorescent lamps that contain a small amount of mercury. It also contains lead in some components.

Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or

recycling information please contact your local authorities, or the Electronics Industries Alliance: <http://www.eiae.org
