When Using In A Cold Climate Or At Low Temperatures - Panasonic HX-A1 Owner's Manual

≥ If you remove the terminal cover (waterproof) or glasscover without thoroughly drying this unit,
water droplets may form on the card or other parts. Also, water may accumulate in the gap
around the card slot or the terminal connector. Be sure to wipe any water off with a soft, dry cloth.
≥ If you attach the terminal cover (waterproof) or glasscover while still wet, water droplets may seep
into this unit and cause condensation or malfunctions.
In case water enters this unit, stop the use and consult your dealer.
Malfunctions resulting from water leakage due to wrong handling by customers are not subject to
compensation.
≥ If the Multi Mount or Tripod Mount are exposed to seawater, rinse off the salt water with fresh
water. When the Multi Mount or Tripod Mount are exposed to water, wipe them off with a dry towel
or something similar, and dry them thoroughly in the shade.
Preparation
When using in a cold climate or at low
temperatures
≥ It may cause injury to the skin if you directly touch the metal parts of the unit in places
where temperature is very low (environments under 0 oC (32 oF), such as ski resorts or
places at high altitude) for a long period of time.
Keep this point in mind when using this unit for a long period of time.
≥ The performance of the battery (recording time/operating time) may decrease temporarily when
using in a temperature between j10 oC and 0 oC (14 oF and 32 oF) (cold places such as ski
resorts or places at high altitude). (Charge the battery sufficiently before use.)
≥ The battery cannot be recharged at temperatures lower than 0 oC (32 oF). (The power lamp
flashes fast when the battery cannot be recharged.) Charge the battery sufficiently in a place
where the ambient temperature is between 10 oC and 30 oC (50 oF and 86 oF).
≥ If the unit is used in cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude with snow or water
droplets adhered to the unit, some parts of the unit may become hard to move or the sound may
become dim with snow or water droplets freezing in the gap of the buttons and microphone. This
is not a malfunction.
®
≥ If the Wi-Fi function is used in cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude, playback
may not be performed correctly.
