VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES
To protect recordings against erasure
When a previously recorded cassette is used again for re-
cording, the previously recorded material is erased. To pro-
tect a recording against accidental erasure, slide the tab on
the cassette to cover the hole. (A red mark will be exposed.)
To record, slide the tab to open the hole.
Notes:
.
Do not insert anything into the erasure-protection hole in the cas-
sette.
q
Only use those tapes with the mark.
l
Because this unit is designed to operate with
.
back ME tapes will result in "noisy" pictures. Therefore, we
recommend that you use MP-type tapes whenever possible.
Do not put anything into the holes on the bottom of the cassette.
l
Do not store or place your video tapes in direct sunlight, near
l
heaters, or in places with excessive moisture or dust.
Do not keep video cassette tapes near magnetic objects as they
l
may erase the recording.
Do not drop or subject the tapes to excessive shocks.
l
Uneven tape winding will damage the tape. If the tape is not prop-
l
erly wound, reinsert it in the VIEWCAM and rewind the tape.
Store the cassettes in their cases and stand them on edge.

USING YOUR VIEWCAM ABROAD
Television system signals and electrical system voltages and frequencies vary substantially from country to
country. When you are abroad, please check the sections below before using the AC adaptor or connecting
the VIEWCAM to a TV.
The AC adaptor is compatible with 50 Hz and 60 Hz electrical systems in the range of 110 V to 240 V AC.
This can be used with 12 V and 24 V negative-ground cars only. Do not use it with positive-ground electrical
systems.
In any country, you can always watch the video picture by using the LCD monitor. However, if you want to
watch the picture on a TV screen, the TV must be PAL system compatible. PAL is used in the following coun-
tries:
Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Holland, Finland, Portu-
gal, Norway, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Kuwait, China, etc.
Note:
To connect the VIEWCAM to a TV which does not have audiolvid-
eo jacks, you must use the AV pack as well as the RF converter
and 75-ohm coaxial cable, available as optional accessories
(see page 38).
