Notes regarding the Battery Pack
I Be sure to use a recommended battery pack as described on page 24. The batteries are available at a SAMSUNG retailer.
Make sure that the Battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
I
To preserve battery power, keep your Camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
I
If your Camcorder is in REC mode, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape
I
inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
Make sure that the Battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
I
Do not drop the Battery pack. Dropping the Battery pack may damage it.
A brand new Battery pack is not charged.
I
Before using the Battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
Fully discharging a Lithium-Ion battery damages the internal cells. The Battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully
I
discharged.
To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
I
It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD screen when recording for long periods, because the LCD screen
I
consumes more battery power.
When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
I
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the camcorder.

Notes regarding the Video Head Cleaning
To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly.
I
If a square block-shape distorts playback, or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty.
If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.
Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.
