FCC Regulation
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1 This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2 This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and then on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
1 Increase the separation between the equipment and camcorder.
2 Connect the equipment to a different outlet so that the equipment and camcorder are
on different branch circuits.
3 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
When the FHC790 is connected to the lighter through the 5V car adapter and the auto on /off mode is selected:
Car-activated Recording: Auto-starts recording once the car is started, auto-stops recording when car is stopped.
Car-stop Recording: Auto-starts recording when car is stopped, auto-stops recording once car is started.
Car-activate and Car-stop Recording: Auto-starts recording once car is started and continues to record
even when the car is stopped. The camcorder needs to be turned off manually.
* For the longest recording time, set Video Quality to Low, Resolution to 320x240 and Frame Rate to Low. This way
the FHC790 can act as a digital voice recorder.
** If a recording is started, you cannot switch between modes.
*** If triggering is enabled, the FHC790 will record for 10 seconds after powering-up. Then it will go into standby. If there
is a trigger, it will keep recording until there are no further triggers. After that, it will record for 5 more minutes and
then standby again.
