Cautions for use
Others
AC adaptor
● Use the supplied AC adaptor.
● If the battery itself is too hot or too cold, it may take time to charge or it may
not charge at all.
● Keep the AC adaptor at least 1 m away from the radio. (Interference may
affect the radio.)
● During use, the AC adaptor may make noises internally, however, this is
normal.
● After use, unplug the AC adaptor from its AC outlet. (Leaving it connected
consumes 0.3 W [max.] of power.)
● Keep the terminals of the AC adaptor clean.
Keep the AC adaptor near both the AC outlet and the AC plug.
LCD monitor
● If the LCD monitor fogs up or becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth.
● When the unit is extremely cold, the LCD monitor may be slightly dark
immediately after turning the unit on; however, the normal brightness is
restored when internal temperature rises.
The LCD monitor is made with high-precision technology, however black spots
may appear in displays or stuck lighting (red, blue or green) may occur. There
is nothing wrong with the monitor.
The LCD monitor pixels are controlled to a 99.99 % degree of accuracy;
however, dead or stuck pixels may occur in the remaining 0.01 %. These pixel
defects are not recorded in SD card images, therefore do not worry.

Condensation
● If condensation adheres to the unit, the lens may fog and the unit and SD card
may not function properly. Avoid sharp changes in temperature and humidity.
● Condensation may adhere in the following cases:
• After summer rain showers or in humid places where the air is thick with
steam
• When heaters are turned on in cold rooms
• When moving from cold places to warm places
• When the unit is directly exposed to cold drafts (i.e., air-conditioners, etc.)
● In the event of differences in temperature or humidity, place the unit in a
plastic bag, remove as much air as possible, seal and let it sit for about 1 hour
to adjust to the ambient temperature.
● If the lens fogs up, remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor, open
the card/battery door and let it sit for about 1 hour to adjust to the ambient
temperature.
Cleaning
● Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
● Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, etc. (These substances can cause
deformation and peeling.)
● Wipe off fingerprints and dust with a soft dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, soak a
cloth in water, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the dirty surfaces. Then wipe
the surfaces with a dry cloth.
● Use chemically treated tissues in accordance with warnings and indications.
