Maintenance information and
precautions
AC power adaptor
•Unplug the unit from the mains when you are
not using the unit for a long time. To disconnect
the mains lead, pull it out by the plug. Never
pull the mains lead itself.
•Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or
if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
•Do not bend the mains lead forcibly, or place a
heavy object on it. This will damage the cord
and may cause fire or electrical shock.
•Prevent metallic objects from coming into
contact with the metal parts of the connecting
section. If this happens, a short may occur and
the unit may be damaged.
•Always keep metal contacts clean.
•Do not disassemble the unit.
•Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the
unit.
•While the unit is in use, particularly during
charging, keep it away from AM receivers and
video equipment. AM receivers and video
equipment disturb AM reception and video
operation.
•The unit becomes warm during use. This is not
a malfunction.
•Do not place the unit in locations that are:
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Vibrating
About care and storage of the lens
•Wipe the surface of the lens clean with a soft
cloth in the following instance:
– When there are fingerprints on the lens
surface
– In hot or humid locations
– When the lens is used in environments such
as at the seaside
•Store the lens in a well-ventilated location
subject to little dirt or dust.
To prevent mold from occurring, periodically
perform the above preventive tasks.
We recommend turning on and operating the
video camera recorder about once per month to
keep the video camera recorder in an optimum
state for a long time.
