≥If the Palmcorder is affected by magnetically
charged equipment and does not function
properly, turn off the Palmcorder power and
detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then
connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again.
Thereafter, turn on the Palmcorder power.
Do not use your Palmcorder near radio
transmitters or high-voltage lines.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or
high-voltage lines, recorded images or sounds
may be adversely affected.
Do not use this Palmcorder for surveillance
purposes or other business use.
≥If you use the Palmcorder for a long period of time,
the internal temperature increases and,
consequently, this may cause malfunction.
≥This Palmcorder is not intended for industrial use.
When you use your Palmcorder on a beach or
similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get
into the Palmcorder.
≥Sand or dust may damage the Palmcorder or
Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting
and removing the Cassette.)
Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals
onto the Palmcorder.
≥If the Palmcorder is sprayed with such chemicals,
the Palmcorder body may deform and the surface
finish may peel off.
≥Do not keep a rubber or plastic product in contact
with the Palmcorder for a long period of time.
When cleaning the Palmcorder, do not use any
solvent, such as benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc.
≥The Palmcorder body may become damaged and
the surface finish may peel off.
≥Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the
AC Cable from the AC Jack.
≥Wipe the Palmcorder with a soft dry cloth. To
remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is
soaked in a detergent diluted with water and
afterward finish wiping with a dry cloth.
≥For storing or transporting the Palmcorder, place it
in a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to
prevent the coating on the Palmcorder body from
becoming worn.
After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and
detach the Battery from the Palmcorder or pull
out the AC Cable from the AC Jack.
≥If the Cassette is left in the Palmcorder, the tape
sags and deteriorates.
≥If you leave the Battery in the Palmcorder or on the
AC Adaptor, the Battery will no longer be
rechargeable.
ª About the AC Adaptor
≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high
or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may
continue flashing, and the Battery may not charge.
After the temperature of the Battery has decreased
or increased sufficiently, charging starts
automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp continues to
flash even after the Battery temperature has
decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or
AC Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please
contact your dealer.
≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes longer than
usual.
≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor
3 feet (1 meter) or more away from radios.
≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate
whirring sounds. This is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from
the AC Jack. (If they are left connected, a small
amount of electricity is consumed.)
≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and
Battery clean.
ª Condensation
If excessive moisture condenses in the unit,
[DEW DETECTED] Indication will flash, and the
Palmcorder will automatically turn off after about
1 minute.
If this happens, follow the steps below:
1
Take out the Cassette.
≥None of the other functions operate.
Depending on the amount of condensation,
removing the Cassette may become difficult. If
this happens, wait for 2 to 3 hours before
taking the Cassette out.
2
Open the Cassette Compartment and
wait for 2 to 3 hours.
≥The number of hours you should wait depends
on the amount of condensation and ambient
temperature.
3
2 to 3 hours later, turn on the
Palmcorder and check to see if the
[DEW DETECTED]
≥Even if the [DEW DETECTED] Indication is
not displayed, as a precaution, please wait for
another hour before using the Palmcorder.
94
Indication is displayed.
