Panasonic VDR-M30 Operating Instructions Manual page 9

Be careful of moisture condensation:
• When you move the DVD Palmcorder between places where the difference in temperatures is great -
such as entering a lodge from a ski slope or going out of a cooled room or vehicle - condensation (vapor
in air warmed or cooled to water droplets) could occur on the lens and/or inside the DVD Palmcorder.
If condensation occurs, do not open the cover of disc or card insertion block if possible. If condensation
occurs on the lens, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. Even if the external surface of DVD Palmcorder has
dried, condensation may remain inside: Turn the DVD Palmcorder off and leave it in a dry place for at
least 1-2 hours before using it again.
Do not use the DVD Palmcorder for a long, uninterrupted period of time:
• This DVD Palmcorder cannot be used for a long time continuously as a surveillance camera/monitor.
If you use the DVD Palmcorder for a long continuous period of time, the temperature of DVD
Palmcorder could exceed a limit and the recording/playback operation could be slowed down: In this
case, turn it off and wait for a while before using it again.
Do not turn the DVD Palmcorder off while the ACCESS/PC indicator or CARD ACCESS
indicator is lit or blinking:
• The ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking
to show that data is being written to disc or card, or being read
from it. At this time, do not do any of the following, so as not
to damage the data:
− Remove battery pack
− Disconnect AC adapter/charger
− Plug or unplug USB cable
− Remove disc or card
− Subject DVD Palmcorder to severe vibrations or impact.
− Forcefully open or close the LCD monitor
If you turn the DVD Palmcorder off while the ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking,
turn it on again with the disc or card loaded in it: Repair of the disc or card will be executed automatically
(see page 150).
Do not wipe the DVD Palmcorder case with benzene or thinner:
• The coating of case could peel off or the case surface could deteriorate.
• When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow the instructions.
Also read the instructions attached with optional accessories:
• For optional accessories, observe the cautions and follow instruction manuals attached.
Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
