Hitachi DZ-BD70E Instruction Manual page 159

Do not use the camcorder near strong radio waves or magnetism.
• If the camcorder is used near strong radio waves or magnetism, such as a radio wave
tower or electric appliances, recording or playback may stop, or noise could enter the
video and audio that are being recorded. During playback of normally recorded video
and audio, noise may also be present in picture and sound.
At worst the camcorder could malfunction.
Do not expose the camcorder to insecticide.
• Insecticide entering the camcorder could dirty the pickup, and in such a case, the
camcorder might not operate normally.
Do not use a generally available 8 cm CD lens cleaner.
• Cleaning the DVD lens is not necessary when using this camcorder in the usual way.
• Using 8 cm CD lens cleaner could cause this camcorder to be faulty.
• If you have to clean the lens, use a Hitachi Maxell cleaner that is exclusively for 8 cm
DVD discs.
About the protection film on the camcorder (disc
compartment side)
• Check if there is protection film on the disc
compartment of the camcorder, and if there is, remove it
before you start using the camcorder. (There may not be
protection film depending on the time when the
camcorder was produced.) Small scratches or fine lines
on the surface of the protection film do not have any
influence on the body of the camcorder. You can peel
off the protection film as follows:
1 Use a piece of scotch (adhesive) tape, hold onto half of it, then firmly adhere the
other half onto the protection film.
2 Once the scotch tape has been firmly applied onto the protection film, peel back the
tape to lift the protection film off the camcorder.
Use gummed tape if scotch tape is not adhesive enough.
Cautions on Storage
Do not leave the camcorder in a place where the temperature is very high
for a long period of time.
• The temperature on beach sand or inside a closed vehicle or boot can become very high
in a hot season. If you leave the camcorder in such a place, it could malfunction or the
case could be damaged. Also, do not expose the camcorder to direct sunlight or place it
near a heater.
• Leaving the battery attached or storing it at high temperature could shorten its life.
Detach the battery from the camcorder and store it in a cool place.
Do not store the camcorder in a place where the humidity is high or in a
dusty place.
• Dust entering the camcorder could cause malfunctions. If the humidity is high, the lens
could be mouldy, and the camcorder could become inoperable. It is recommended that
you put the camcorder with desiccant in a box when storing it in a closet, etc.
