AC adaptor
●
Use the supplied AC adaptor.
●
If the battery itself is too hot or too cold, it may take time to charge or it may
not charge at all.
●
Keep the AC adaptor at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from the radio. (Interference
may affect the radio.)
●
During use, the AC adaptor may make noises internally, however, this is normal.
After use, unplug the AC adaptor from its AC outlet. (Leaving it connected
●
consumes 0.3 W [max.] of power.)
●
Keep the terminals of the AC adaptor clean.
Keep the AC adaptor near both the AC outlet and the AC plug.
LCD monitor
●
If the LCD monitor fogs up or becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth.
●
When the unit is extremely cold, the LCD monitor may be slightly dark
immediately after turning the power on; however, the normal brightness is
restored when internal temperature rises.
The LCD monitor is made with high-precision technology; however, black
spots may appear in displays or stuck pixels (red, blue or green) may occur.
There is nothing wrong with the monitor.
The LCD monitor pixels are controlled to a 99.99 % degree of accuracy;
however, dead or stuck pixels may occur in the remaining 0.01 %. These pixel
defects are not recorded in SD card images, therefore do not worry.
Condensation
●
If condensation adheres to the unit, the lens may fog and the unit and SD card
may not function properly. Avoid sharp changes in temperature and humidity.
●
Condensation may adhere in the following cases:
•
After summer rain showers or in humid places where the air is thick with
steam
•
When heaters are turned on in cold rooms
•
When moving from cold places to warm places
•
When the unit is directly exposed to cold drafts (i.e., air-conditioners, etc.)
●
In the event of differences in temperature or humidity, place the unit in a
plastic bag, remove as much air as possible, seal and let it sit for about 1 hour
to adjust to the ambient temperature.
●
If the lens fogs up, remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor, open
the card/battery door and let it sit for about 1 hour to adjust to the ambient
temperature.
