Maintenance information and
precautions
Camcorder care
•Remove the tape, and periodically turn on
the power, operate the CAMERA and VCR
sections and play back a tape for about three
minutes when your camcorder is not to be
used for a long time.
•Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove
dust. If there are fingerprints on the lens,
remove them with a soft cloth.
•Clean the camcorder body with a dry soft
cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any type
of solvent which may damage the finish.
•Do not let sand get into your camcorder.
When you use your camcorder on a sandy
beach or in a dusty place, protect it from the
sand or dust. Sand or dust may cause your
camcorder to malfunction, and sometimes
this malfunction cannot be repaired.
AC Adaptor
•Unplug the unit from the wall socket when
you are not using the unit for a long time. To
disconnect the mains lead, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the mains lead itself.
•Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord
or if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
•Do not bend the mains lead forcibly, or place
a heavy object on it. This will damage the
lead and may cause fire or electrical shock.
•Prevent metallic objects from coming into
contact with the metal parts of the connecting
section. If this happens, a short may occur
and the unit may be damaged.
•Always keep metal contacts clean.
•Do not disassemble the unit.
•Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the
unit.
