≥ Just how smoothly the scenes will be played back depends on the  playback unit. Depending on 
the unit used, the images may stop moving and become still for  a moment even when none of the 
following conditions are applicable.
≥ A continuous recording of motion picture data that exceeds 4 GB  may momentarily stop at every 
4 GB of data when played back with another device.
≥ It may not play back smoothly when the editing of scenes was do ne with the HD Writer XE 2.0, 
but it will play back smoothly if you set the seamless settings  in the HD Writer XE 2.0. Refer to the 
operating instructions for the HD Writer XE 2.0.
Cannot operate from

Cautions for use
About this unit
The unit and the SD card become warm 
during use. This is not a malfunction. 
						

							- 173 -
Do not lift up this unit by the handle with the 
tripod still attached
≥When the tripod is attached, its weight will 
also affect the unit’s handle, possibly causing 
the handle to break and hurting the user.
≥ To carry the unit while the tripod is attached, 
take hold of the tripod.
Do not swing the unit around, shake it by, or 
allow it hang from the handle
≥ Do not jar, swing, or shake the unit by its 
handle. Any strong jolt to the handle may 
damage the unit or result in personal injury.
Do not allow the cord to drag on the ground 
or pull a connected cord along the passage
≥ The cord will be damaged, causing fire or 
electrical shock, when the cord gets caught 
by the feet, excite will also cause personal 
injury.
Do not use this unit for purposes that 
require a long period of time, such as 
surveillance.
≥ This may cause heat bu ild-up within this unit. 
Malfunction may result.
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 shorten 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.
≥ When this unit or battery charger is attached 
with the terminal part in a deformed state, this 
unit or battery charger may be damaged.
Do not throw 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 the charging lamp keeps flashing, make 
sure that the terminals of the battery or the 
battery charger are not exposed to dirt, 
foreign objects or dust, then reconnect them 
properly.
Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet 
when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust 
on the terminals of the battery or the battery 
charger.
If the charging lamp is still flashing, the 
temperature of the battery may be extremely 
high or extremely low or something may be 
wrong with the battery or battery charger. 
Contact your dealer.
≥ If you use the AC adaptor or battery charger 
near a radio, radio reception may be 
disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor or battery 
charger 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the 
radio.
≥ When using the AC adaptor or battery 
charger, it may generate whirring sounds. 
However, this is normal.
≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC cable 
from the AC outlet. (If you leave this unit 
connected, the AC ada ptor will consume 
approximately 0.3 W and the battery charger 
approximately 0.3 W of current.)
≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC 
adaptor, battery charger and battery clean.
≥Install the device near an AC outlet so 
that the power disconnection device 
(AC mains plug) can be accessed 
easily by hand.
When disposing of or giving away the SD 
card, note that:
≥ Formatting and deletion of this unit or 
computer only changes the file management 
information and does not completely delete 
the data in the SD card.
≥ It is recommended that the main SD card is 
either physically destroyed or the SD card is 
physically formatted using this unit when 
disposing of or giving away the SD card.
≥ To physically format, connect this unit to the 
AC adaptor, select [OTHER FUNCTION]  # 
[FORMAT MEDIA]  # [SD CARD 1] or [SD 
CARD 2] from the menu, and touch [YES]. 
Press and hold recording start/stop button in 
the following screen for three seconds. 
Screen to delete the SD card data is 
displayed, so select [YES] and follow the 
instruction on the screen.
≥ The customer is responsible for the 
management of the data in the SD card.

≥When the LCD screen is dirty or 
condensation has occurred, please wipe it 
using a soft cloth such as a lens cloth.
≥ Do not touch the LCD monitor with your finger 
nails, or rub or press with strong force.
≥ It may become hard to see or hard to 
recognize the touch when the LCD protection 
sheet is affixed.

example due to storage in a cold area, its 
LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual 
immediately after the unit is turned on. The 
normal brightness will be restored when the 
unit’s internal temperature rises. When the Wi-Fi function is used, the SSID, 
Password, and other personal information will 
be included in this unit.
Setting a Wi-Fi password is recommended to 
protect personal information. (

LCD monitor/viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is 
employed to produce the LCD Monitor 
screen. The result is more than 99.99% 
effective dots with a mere 0.01% of the dots 
inactive or always lit. However, this is not a 
malfunction and does not affect the recorded 
picture.
