Cautions:
• BEFORE REMOVING THE DC CABLE,
ALWAYS STOP RECORDING OR PLAYBACK
AND TURN THE POWER OFF. Removing the
DC cable while shooting or during playback may
damage the tape by causing it to wrap around
the video head drum, or may destroy the card,
rendering it unreadable and unwritable.
• Disconnect the camcorder from the AC adapter
if the camcorder is not to be used for a long
period of time.
