ªAbout the LCD Monitor
≥In a place with drastic temperature 
changes, condensation may form on the 
LCD Monitor. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
≥If your SD Multi AV Device is extremely 
cold when you turn its power on, the 
image on the LCD Monitor will be slightly 
darker than usual at first. However, as the 
internal temperature increases, it goes 
back to the normal brightness.
ªOptimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion 
battery. Its ability to generate power is 
based upon the chemical reaction that takes 
place inside it. This reaction is susceptible 
to the surrounding temperature and 
humidity, and, if the temperature is too high 
or too low, the operating time of the Battery 
becomes shorter.
Extremely high precision technology is 
employed to produce the LCD Monitor 
screen featuring a total of approximately 
200,000 pixels. The result is more than 
99.99% effective pixels with a mere 
0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. 
However, this is not a malfunction and 
does not affect the recorded picture.

Be Sure to Detach the Battery after UseBe sure to detach the Battery from the SD 
Multi AV Device. (If it is left attached to the 
SD Multi AV Device, a minute amount of 
current is consumed even when the SD 
Multi AV Device power is off.) If the Battery 
is left attached to the SD Multi AV Device for 
a long time, over discharge takes place. 
The Battery may become unusable after it is 
charged.
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 damaged.
≥Attaching a deformed Battery to the SD 
Multi AV Device may damage the SD Multi 
AV Device.
ªNotes on the SD Memory Card 
Write-Protect Switch
≥The SD Memory Card has 
a write-protect switch. 
Sliding the switch to 
[LOCK] prevents the 
contents in the Memory 
Card from deleting 
accidentally.
ªCautions for Storage
Before storing the SD Multi AV Device, 
take the Memory Card out and detach the 
Battery.
Store all the components in a dry place with 
a relatively stable temperature.

(15 to 25oC), Recommended Humidity:40 to 
60%)
SD Multi AV Device≥Do not leave the SD Multi AV Device 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 terminals 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.

ªState of Power Lamp while 
charging
The Power Lamp flashes while charging. 
(Flashes approx. every 2 seconds when 
charging is normal.)
When the Power Lamps flashes more 
quickly or slowly (or turns off), some 
abnormality may have occurred.
The flashing speed suggests the following 
states.
Flashing approx. every 0.5 seconds:
≥The SD Multi AV Device, battery or AC 
adaptor may be defective. Contact your 
nearest Panasonic dealer.
Flashing approx. every 6 seconds:≥The ambient temperature or that of the 
battery itself is too high or too low. 
Charging proceeds, but will take a longer 
time.
