When using the unit
Keep the SD Video Camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic 
equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).If you use the SD Video Camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and 
sound on the SD Video Camera may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave 
radiation.
Do not use the SD Video Camera near cell phones because doing so may 
result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and 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 the SD Video Camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
If the SD Video Camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment 
and stops functioning properly, turn the SD Video Camera off and remove 
the battery or disconnect AC adaptor.
Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the SD Video 
Camera on.
Do not use the SD Video Camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage 
lines. If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorde\
d 
pictures and sound may be adversely affected.
Use the cord or cable supplied with the unit or other devices. Do not ex\
tend 
the cords and the cables.
Do not expose the unit to insecticide or volatile substances, or allow p\
rolonged 
contact with rubber or vinyl products. (This can cause deformation and \
peeling.)
Do not drop or impact the unit. Strong impacts may damage the outer casing, causing it to malfunction.
Do not use the unit for business purposes such as surveillance.  This unit is not of professional grade, and can build up heat internally\
 over 
extended use, resulting in problems.
Before long periods of disuse: Wipe away moisture and dirt with a soft dry cloth, dry naturally and sto\
re with 
desiccant (silica gel).

SD cards
The memory capacity indicated on the SD card label is the maximum capaci\
ty 
for copyright protection and management, which is ordinarily used by the\
 unit, 
computers, etc.
MiniSD cards require a purpose-specific adaptor. Do not insert just the miniSD 
card or just the adaptor. Also, do not insert and remove a miniSD card while 
keeping the adaptor inserted into the unit. (This can cause damage.)
Battery
The rechargeable lithium ion battery used with this unit is readily affected by 
temperature and humidity. In cold places, the full battery indication may not 
appear and a low battery warning may appear approx. 5 minutes after star\
ting 
use. In high temperatures, a protective function may be triggered, preve\
nting 
use.
After use, always remove and store the battery.If left inside the unit, the battery may over-discharge because of small\
 
amounts of current flow, ultimately damaging the battery. 
Place the battery in a plastic bag so as to prevent metal from contactin\
g 
terminals and store in a cool (15 - 25  ˚C (59 - 77 ˚F)) dry (40 - 60 % RH) 
place subject to minimal temperature changes. 
Storing the battery in extreme cold or high heat may shorten the battery\
’s 
service-life. Moreover, places that are hot, humid or oily can rust terminals 
and cause damage to the battery.
During long-term storage, charge the battery once a year, then use it until 
depleted and store it again. 
Clean battery terminals of adhering dust, etc.
Prepare a spare battery when going out. Prepare 3 - 4x more battery power than you plan to use. In cold places s\
uch 
as ski resorts, recording time becomes shorter.
Do not forget the AC adaptor when traveling so that you can recharge 
batteries.
Do not use batteries if damaged or deformed (especially terminals) fro\
m 
dropping, etc.  This can cause damage to the unit.
Do not throw batteries into fire. The battery may burst if heated or thrown into fire.
If the battery does not last long immediately after charging, it has rea\
ched the 
end of its service-life. Purchase a new battery.

AC adaptor
Use the supplied AC adaptor.
If the battery itself is too hot or too cold, it may take time to charge\
 or it may 
not charge at all.
Keep the AC adaptor at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from the radio. (Interference\
 
may affect the radio.)
During use, the AC adaptor may make noises internally; however, this is 
normal.
After use, unplug the AC adaptor from its AC outlet. (Leaving it connected 
consumes 0.3 W [max.] of power.)
Keep the terminals of the AC adaptor clean.
Keep the AC adaptor near both the AC outlet and the AC plug.
LCD monitor
If the LCD monitor fogs up or becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth.
When the unit is extremely cold, the LCD monitor may be slightly dark 
immediately after turning the power on; however, the normal brightness is 
restored when internal temperature rises.
The LCD monitor is made with high-precision technology; however, black 
spots may appear in displays or stuck lighting (red, blue or green) ma\
y occur. 
There is nothing wrong with the monitor.
The LCD monitor pixels are controlled to a 99.99 % degree of accuracy; 
however, dead or stuck pixels may occur in the remaining 0.01 %. These pixel 
defects are not recorded in SD card images, therefore do not worry.

Condensation
If condensation adheres to the unit, the lens may fog and the unit and S\
D card 
may not function properly. Avoid sharp changes in temperature and humidity.
Condensation may adhere in the following cases:
After summer rain showers or in humid places where the air is thick with\
 
steam
When heaters are turned on in cold rooms
When moving from cold places to warm places
When the unit is directly exposed to cold drafts (i.e., air conditioner\
s, etc.) 
In the event of differences in temperature or humidity, place the unit in a 
plastic bag, remove as much air as possible, seal and let it sit for abo\
ut 1 hour 
to adjust to the ambient temperature.
If the lens fogs up, remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor, open 
the card/battery door and let it sit for about 1 hour to adjust to the a\
mbient 
temperature.
Cleaning
Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, etc. (These substances can cause 
deformation and peeling.)
Wipe off fingerprints and dust with a soft dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, soak a\
 
cloth in water, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the dirty surfaces. Then wipe 
the surfaces with a dry cloth.
Use chemically treated tissues in accordance with warnings and indicatio\
ns.
