Disposing of an Unusable Battery
≥The Battery has a limited life.
≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may
cause an explosion.
Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery
Clean
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with
dirt, dust, or other substances.
If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see if
the Battery body and terminals are deformed.
Attaching a deformed Battery to the Movie
Camera or AC Adaptor may damage the Movie
Camera or AC Adaptor.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the Movie Camera, take the
Cassette out and detach the Battery.
Store all the components in a dry place with a
relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended Temperature: 15 to 25oC,
Recommended Humidity: 40 to 60%)
Movie Camera
≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from
getting into the Camera.
≥Do not leave the Movie Camera in places that
expose it to high temperature.
Battery
≥Extremely high temperatures or low
temperatures will shorten the life of the Battery.
≥If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places,
the terminal may rust and cause malfunctions.
≥Do not allow the Battery terminals to come in
contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result in a
short circuit or heat generation and, if you
touch the Battery in this condition, you may
be badly burned.
≥Store the Battery in a completely discharged
state. To store the Battery for a long period of
time, we recommend you charge it once every
year and store it again after you completely use
up the charged capacity.
Cassette
≥Before storing it, rewind the tape to the
beginning. If the Cassette is left for more than
6 months with the tape stopped midway, the tape
sags (although it depends on the storage
condition). Be sure to rewind to the beginning.
≥Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct
sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may
damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral
particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the
heads of the Movie Camera and other
components. Develop a habit of returning the
Cassette back to its case.
≥Once every half year, wind the tape to the end
and then rewind it to the beginning. If the
Cassette is left for 1 year or longer without
winding or rewinding, temperature and humidity
changes may cause the Cassette to deform due
to swelling, shrinking, and so forth. The wound
tape may stick to itself.
≥Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic
substances or equipment.
≥The surface of tape is covered with extremely
minute magnetic particles, upon which signals
are recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc.,
have magnetic force that is stronger than you
may normally expect, and they may erase the
contents of a recording or may cause noise in
images and sounds.
Card (NV-DS65 only)
≥After usage, store the supplied SD memory card
in the enclosed bag.
≥When the Card is being read, do not remove the
Card, turn off the power, or subject it to vibration
or impact.
≥Do not leave the Card in places where there is
high temperature or direct sunlight, or where
electromagnetic waves or static electricity are
easily generated.
≥Do not bend or drop the Card. The Card or the
recorded content may be damaged.
≥After use, be sure to remove the Card from the
Movie Camera.
≥Do not touch the terminals on the back of the
Card with your fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or
water to enter it.
