When normal playback cannot be performed even after the
head cleaning
One possible cause is that normal recording could not be
performed because the heads were dirty at the time of
recording. Clean the heads, and perform recording and
playback again. If normal playback can be performed, the
heads are clean. Before an important recording, be sure to
conduct a test recording to make sure that normal recording
can be performed.
≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, the problem
may be attributable to the tape. If so, try another cassette.
≥During playback, the picture or sound may be interrupted
momentarily, but this is not a malfunction of the camera-
recorder. (One possible cause is that the playback is
interrupted by dirt or dust that momentarily adheres to the
heads.)
ª
About the camera-recorder
≥When the camera-recorder is used for a long time, the
camera-recorder body becomes warm, but this is not a
malfunction.
Keep the camera-recorder away from magnetized
equipment such as a cellular phones, microwave ovens,
TVs, and video game equipment.
≥If you use the camera-recorder on or near a TV, images or
sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave
radiation.
≥Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or images may be
distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or
large motors.
≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by digital circuits
including microprocessor may adversely affect the camera-
recorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.
≥If the camera-recorder is affected by such equipment and
does not function properly, turn off the camera-recorder
power and detach the battery or AC adapter. Then, connect
the battery or AC adapter again and turn on the camera-
recorder power.
Do not use your camera-recorder near radio transmitters
or high-voltage cables.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-voltage
cables, recorded images or sounds may be adversely
affected.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the
camera-recorder.
≥If the camera-recorder is sprayed with such chemicals, the
camera-recorder body may become deformed and the
surface finish may peel off.
≥Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the
camera-recorder for a long time.
When you use your camera-recorder in a sandy or dusty
place such as on a beach, do not let sand or fine dust get
into the body and terminals of the camera-recorder. Also,
protect the camera-recorder from getting wet.
≥Sand or dust may damage the camera-recorder or cassette.
(Care should be taken when inserting and removing a
cassette.)
≥If sea water splashes onto the camera-recorder, wet a soft
cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the
camera-recorder body carefully. Then, wipe it again
thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
While carrying the camera-recorder, do not drop or bump
it.
≥A strong impact on the camera-recorder may break its
housing, causing it to malfunction.
Do not use benzine, paint thinner or alcohol for cleaning
the camera-recorder.
≥Before cleaning, detach the battery or pull out the AC mains
lead from the AC mains socket.
≥The camera-recorder body may be discolored and the surface
finish may peel off.
≥Wipe the camera-recorder with a soft dry cloth to remove dust
and fingerprints. To remove stubborn stains, wring well a cloth
that is soaked in a neutral detergent diluted with water and
wipe the camera-recorder with it. Afterwards, wipe it with a dry
cloth.
≥When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions.
Do not use this camera-recorder for surveillance purposes
or other business use.
≥If you use the camera-recorder for a long time, the internal
temperature increases and, consequently, this may cause
malfunction.
ª
About the battery
The battery used in the camera-recorder is a rechargeable
lithium ion battery. This battery is susceptible to temperature
and humidity, and the effect of temperature increases with
increasing or decreasing temperature. In the low temperature
range, the fully charged indication may not appear, or the low
battery indication may appear about 5 minutes after the start of
use. At high temperature, moreover, the protection function
may work, disabling use of the camera-recorder.
Be sure to detach the battery after use
≥If the battery is left attached to the camera-recorder, a minute
amount of current is consumed even when the camera-
recorder power is [OFF]. If the battery is left attached to the
camera-recorder for a long time, over-discharge takes place.
The battery may become unusable after it is charged.
Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.
≥Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the period during
you want to record pictures in. In cold places such as a ski
resort, the period during which you can record pictures is
shortened.
≥When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC adapter so that
you can recharge the batteries at your destination.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the
terminals are deformed.
≥Attaching a deformed battery to the camera-recorder or AC
adapter may damage the camera-recorder or AC adapter.
After use, be sure to take the cassette out and detach the
battery from the camera-recorder or pull out the AC mains
lead from AC mains socket.
≥The battery should be stored in a cool place free from
humidity, with as constant temperature as possible.
(Recommended temperature: 15 oC (59 oF) to 25 oC (77 oF),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)
≥Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten
the life of the battery.
≥If the battery is kept in a high-temperature, high-humidity, or
oily-smoky places, the terminals may rust and cause
malfunctions.
≥To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend
you charge it once every year and store it again after you
have completely used up the charged capacity.
≥Dust and other matter attached to the battery terminals should
be removed.
