Cautions for Use
ªAbout the SD Video Camera
Keep this unit away from magnetized 
equipment (such as a microwave oven, 
TV, video game equipment, etc.).
≥If you use this unit on or near a TV, images 
and sounds may be disturbed due to 
electromagnetic wave radiation.
≥Do not use near a cell phone because 
doing so may cause noise to adversely 
affect the picture and sound.
≥Recorded data may be damaged, or 
images may be distorted by strong 
magnetic fields created by speakers or 
large motors....
