Cautions for Use
When you use your Camcorder on a rainy or
snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no
water enters the Camcorder.
• Water may cause the Camcorder or Cassette to
malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)
• If sea water splashes onto the Camcorder, wet a
soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to
wipe the camera body carefully. Then, wipe it again
thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
Keep the Camcorder away from magnetized
equipment (such as a microwave oven, TV,
video game equipment, etc.).
• If you use the Camcorder on or near a TV, images
or sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic
wave radiation.
• Do not use near a cell phone because doing so
may cause noise to adversely affect the picture and
sound.
• Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or
images may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields
created by speakers or large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by
a microprocessor may adversely affect the
Camcorder, causing the disturbance of images and
