PRECAUTIONS
For safety, strictly observe the following
instructions.
•Do not disassemble or modify the unit.
•Prevent
inflammables, water
and metallic objects
from entering the unit.
•Do not use the unit when there
is
lightning
in
the
vicinity. Disconnect the power cable of connected
equipment.
Avoid using the
unit under
the following conditions:
•Places
subject
to excessive
humidity
or dust.
•Near appliances generating
strong
magnetic or elec-
tric fields
(speakers, broadcasting antennas, etc.).
•Places subject to
soot or
steam
such as
near
a cook-
ing
stove.
•Places subject to excessive shock or vibration.
•Near
a television set (rolling pictures or howling
might result).
•Extremely
hot places.
Do
not
expose
the
unit
to
high temperatures over
40°C (104°F)
for long periods.
If
the
unit
should
be subjected to
direct
sunlight,
or
left
in
a closed car in summer, or placed near a heater,
the
CCD
and
the auto-focus sensor may deteriorate
and the cabinet may become
deformed. Furthermore,
this
also
may cause the transistors and
other elec-
tronic and
mechanical
parts to malfunction. Remem-
ber
the following:
•Do not
leave the unit in places of
over 5D°C (
122°
F).
•Do not
use the unit in places of over 4D°C (1D4°F)
.
•Do not use
the unit in places of below D°C (32°F).
•Protect
the unit
from excess ively dry or excessively
humid conditions (below 35
%
or above 80 %
humidity).
•For long
storage, select
a place between -1 D°C
(14°F)
and
3D°C
(86°F).
Take special care for protection of the unit.
•Do not allow the
unit
to
become
wet.
•Do not
leave
the unit in
closed
cars
on
hot summer
days.
•Take special
care not to drop the unit
or strike it
against
hard
objects.
Protect from shocks
during
transportation.
Make
it
a
rule
to observe the following instructions.
•Do
not remove
the battery pack or disconnect other
power supply units during recording or playback
before
pressing the POWER switch to
OFF.
If not
observed, this will cause tape damage.
•When the unit
is
not in use, remove the battery pack.
Keep the
lens
and viewfinder eyepiece always clean.
•When the
lens is
dirty or dusty, blow
it
off first and
then gently wipe with a
soft
brush or lens cleaning
paper.
•The lens
is likely to become moldy
if
left dirty.
Be careful not to damage the CCD.
•Do
not
keep the
lens
directed at extremely bright
objects such as the sun or other light sources for
long
periods. Although the CCD is
less
susceptible
to
such burn than a tube would be, caution should
be exercised when using this unit. Most
importantly,
the
lens
should be
capped
except while actually
shooting.
•Do not
direct
the
eyepiece of the viewfinder atthe
sun.
Auto-focus requires a bit
of consideration.
•When a filter or a special-effect lens
is to be attached
to the end of the lens,
be sure to turn power off.
Handle
the
unit carefully.
•Protect the
microphone from
excessive shocks.
•Do not carry the unit
by
holding it only by the
viewfinder.
