- 182 - Keep this unit as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.). ≥If you use this unit on top of or near a TV, the pictures and/or sound on this unit may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation. ≥ Do not use this unit near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and/or sound. ≥ Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors. ≥ Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect this unit, disturbing the pictures and/or sound. ≥ If this unit is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly, turn this unit off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor. Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn this unit on. Do not use this unit near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines. ≥ If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and/ or sound may be adversely affected. Make sure to use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the cords and the cables supplied with them. Do not extend the cords and the cables. Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the unit. ≥ If the unit is sprayed with such chemicals, its body may be marred and the surface finish may peel off. ≥ Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long time. When you use the unit in a sandy or dusty place such as a beach, do not let sand or fine dust get into the body and terminals of the unit. Also, keep the unit away from sea water. ≥ Sand or dust may damage the unit. (Care should be taken when inserting and removing a card.) ≥ If sea water splashes onto the unit, wipe off the water with a well wrung cloth. Then wipe the unit again with a dry cloth. When carrying the unit, do not drop or bump it. ≥ A strong impact can break the unit’s casing, causing it to malfunction. Cleaning ≥ Before cleaning, detach the battery or pull the AC adaptor from the AC outlet, and then wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth. ≥ If the unit is very dirty, dip a cloth in water and squeeze firmly, and then wipe the unit with the damp cloth. Next, dry the unit with a dry cloth. ≥ Use of benzine, paint thinner, alcohol, or dishwashing liquid may alter the camera body or peel the surface finish. Do not use these solvents. ≥ When using a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions that came with the cloth. Others Cautions for use About this unit The unit and the SD card become warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
- 183 - Do not use the unit for surveillance purposes or other business uses. ≥This unit was designed for consumer intermittent use. It was not intended for continuous use, or for any industrial or commercial application resulting in prolonged use. ≥ In certain situations, continuous use could cause the unit to overheat and cause a malfunction. Such use is strongly discouraged. When you are not going to use the unit for an extended time ≥ When storing the unit in a cupboard or cabinet, it is recommen ded that you place a desiccant (silica gel) in with it. The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity and temperature and the effect increases the more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas, the full charge indication may not appear or the low battery indication may appear about 5 minutes after starting use. At high temperatures, the protection function may be triggered, making it impossible to use the unit. Be sure to detach the battery after use. ≥ If the battery is left attached, a minute amount of current continues to f low even if the unit is off. Keeping the unit in this state may result in over discharge of the battery. This may result in you not being able to use the battery even after it is charged. ≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag so metal does not come into contact with the terminals. ≥ The battery should be stored in a cool place free from humidity, with as constant temperature as possible. (Recommended temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF), Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH) ≥ Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shor ten the life of the battery. ≥ If the battery is kept in 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. Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording. ≥ Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 times the period you are planning to record for. Cold places such as a ski resort can shorten recording time. If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged. ≥ Inserting a battery with damaged terminals can damage the unit. Do not throw an old battery into fire. ≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion. If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery. ≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, charging may take time or the battery may not be charged. ≥ If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the radio. ≥ When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. How ever, this is normal. ≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.) ≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery clean. About the battery About the AC adaptor
- 184 - When the status indicator is flashing at a particularly fast or slow rate, the following should be considered. Flashing with approx. 4 second period (off for approx. 2 seconds, on for approx. 2 seconds): ≥When the battery is over discharged or the temperature of the battery is too high or low. It can be charged, but it may take a few hours to complete the charging normally. ≥ It will flash in approx. 2 second intervals when normal charging resumes. Even in such cases, it may start flashing in approx. 4 second intervals until charging is completed depending on the conditions of use. Flashing with approx. 0.5 second period (off for approx. 0.25 second, on for approx. 0.25 second): ≥ The battery is not charged. Remove the battery from the unit, and try charging again. ≥ Check that the terminals of the unit or battery are not dirty or covered with a foreign object, and connect the battery correctly once again. If a foreign object or dirt is present, turn off the unit before removing. ≥ The battery or environment is at an extremely high or low temperature. Wait until the temperature has returned to an appropriate level and try charging again. If you are still unable to charge, there may be a fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor.
