Precautions
AC Adapter/Battery
Charger
l
The AC adapter/battery
charger
may interfere
with
reception,
if used near a radio.
l
Prevent
flammables,
liquids,
and metal objects
from entering
the adapter/charger.
l
The adapter/charger
is a sealed
unit. Do not
attempt to open or modify it.
l
Do not damage,
drop, or subject the adapter/
charger
to vibration.
l
Do not leave the adapter/charger
in direct sunlight.
l
Avoid using the adapter/charger
in humid or
extremely
hot places.
Battery Pack
Battery pack consumption
l
Recording with many starts and stops, frequent
zooming, and recording in low temperatures
will somewhat shorten actual recording time.
Accordingly, be sure to turn off the power when
not recording. Use of an auxiliary battery pack
is recommended to prevent undesirable
interruptions in your recording.
l
Do not use an insufficiently charged or weak
battery pack. Such battery packs may cause
the power to automatically stop during
VIEWCAM operation to protect both the battery
pack and the unit.
m
This VIEWCAM
uses a Ni-MH (nickel-metal
hydride)
type or Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium)
type battery
pack. Use only the SHARP BT-H21 or BT-N1 battery
packs. They are designed
specifically
for use with this
VIEWCAM.
Battery pack life
The battery pack has a limited service life. If the
period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a
normal charge, the battery pack is at the end of
its service life.
Replace it with a new battery pack.
Extending battery pack life
We recommend
that you use the battery pack until
its charge
is fully drained
and the VIEWCAM
is
inoperable
before recharging
the pack.
Recharge
the battery
pack right before recording.
A battery
pack stored
for an extended time will
naturally
wear
down, resulting
in decreased
recording
time.
Do not try to recharge
a fully charged
battery pack
before it has been discharged,
as this will cause
deterioration
of the battery's
capacity.
Store the battery
pack in a drv, cool place.
Battery
power is consumed even when the
VIEWCAM's
power is turned off. If the VIEWCAM
will not be used, remove the battery pack. (See
page 11.)

How to use the battery pack cover
After the battery pack is charged,
put the cover on
it so that the "CHARGE"
mark printed
on the label
is seen through
the window,
as shown.

Before the battery pack is charged, put the cover
upside down so that only the battery
pack casing
is
seen through
the window.
Temperature during charging
l
The Ni-MH (nickel-metal
hydride)
type BT-H21
battery pack can be charged
at temperatures
of
15°C to 30°C.
l
The Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium)
type BT-N1 battery
pack can be charged
at temperatures
of 15°C to
40°C. To utilize the battery's
full capacity,
it is
recommended
that charging
take place at
temperatures
of 15°C to 35°C.
v
For safety, keep the battery
pack
in its
protective
cover when it is not being used. If the
metal parts of the battery pack come in contact
with
other metal items, there is a danger that a short
circuit may occur.
Replacing the fluorescent lamp
The fluorescent
lamp is
used as the backlight lamp
for
the LCD display.
It has a limited service
life.
When the LCD display
becomes
dark and difficult
to
be watched,
the fluorescent
lamp is needed
to be
replaced.
Under such circumstances,
contact
the nearest
SHARP service centre or your dealer
for further
advice.
