SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE
USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and
manufactured to meet international safety
standards but, like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the
best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before
you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections
(including the mains plug, extension leads and
interconnections between pieces of
equipment) are properly made and in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains
plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in
doubt about the installation, operation or
safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on
equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if
you are in any doubt about it working
normally, or if it is damaged in any way —
switch off, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may
expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when
it is unattended unless it is specifically stated
that it is designed for unattended operation
or has a standby mode. Switch off using the
switch on the equipment and make sure that
your family knows how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made
for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal
stereos or radios so that you are distracted
from the requirements of road safety. It is
illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume,
as such use can permanently damage your
hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the
equipment, for example with curtains or soft
furnishings. Overheating will cause damage
and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix
legs with wood screws — to ensure complete
safety always fit the manufacturer’s
approved stand or legs with the fixings
provided according to the instructions.

Fogging inside the Lens
Models with waterproof function are airtight.
When the temperature rises during
recording, condensation can occur inside
the lens due to the internal humidity.
During recording
To prevent the temperature of this unit from
rising, we recommend that you use the unit
in the following ways.
A
Avoid frequent exposure to direct
sunlight.
Record under the shade or use an
umbrella. Best if you could keep a wet
towel cover the unit.
B
The use of a tripod is recommended.
Long hours of recording while holding the
unit in your hands will cause the
temperature of the unit to rise.
C
It is better to leave the terminal cover open
while recording.
However, the waterproof, dust-proof and
shockproof features do not function in this
condition. Do take note of the environment
when using the camera. (Do not use a wet
towel.)
D
Make sure to turn off the power when you
are not recording.
The power turns off when the LCD monitor
is closed.
(When [Quick Restart] is [On], power
continues to be consumed for about 5
minutes after closing the LCD monitor
screen.)
During charging
It is recommended to charge the unit in a low
humidity environment.
The moist air inside the unit can cause
condensation.
We recommend that you charge the unit in a
room where humidifier is not in use, and in
an air-conditioned room during summer.
When fogging occurs inside the lens
Open the terminal cover to reduce the
temperature, close the LCD monitor and
leave the camera as it is for a while.
.
Open the terminal cover.
Protecting the Lens
There is a protective glass in front of the lens
to protect the lens.

If the protective glass is dirty, wipe clean
using a commercially available cleaning
cloth.
