Notices and Safety Precautions
Precautions when using the Sports Camcorder
✤ Please note the following precautions for use:
✤ Please keep this device in a safe place. The device contains a lens that can be damaged by shock.
Keep away from the reach of the children.
■
Do not place your device in a wet place. Moisture and water may cause the device to malfunction.
To avoid electric shock, do not touch your device or power cable with wet hands.
If the device is not working properly, please consult your nearest dealer or authorized Samsung service facility.
■
■
Disassembling the device yourself may cause irrecoverable damage which will be difficult to repair.
Clean the device with a dry, soft cloth. Use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution for removing stains.
■
Do not use any type of solvent, especially benzene, as it may seriously damage the finish.
Keep your device away from rain and saltwater. After using, clean the device. Saltwater may cause the parts to corrode.
To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains plug
■
■
shall be readily operable.
■
Using the earphone or headphone for an extended time can cause a serious damage to your hearing.
-
-
If you are exposed to a sound in higher than 85db for an extended time, you will be adversely affected on your
hearing. The higher the sound is, the more seriously damaged your hearing is (an ordinary conversation is made in 50
to 60 db and the noise level on the road is approximately 80 db).
You are strongly advised to set the volume level to medium (the medium level is usually less than 2/3 of the
maximum).
■
■
If you feel a ringing in the ear(s), lower the volume or stop using the earphone or headphone.
Do not use the earphone while you are driving a bicycle, automobile or motorcycle.
-
-
Otherwise it can cause a serious accident and, furthermore, it is prohibited by the law in some areas.
Using the earphone on the way, in particular, on the crosswalk can lead to a serious accident.
■
For your safety, make sure the earphone cable should not get in the way of your arm or other surrounding objects while
you are taking exercise or a walk.

Camcorder.
✤ Make sure the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
✤ To preserve battery power, keep the Sports Camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
✤ If your device is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes, it will automatically turn itself off to

✤ The Sports camcorder supports 4GB memory cards and lower. Any card above 4GB may not record or play properly.
✤ If you record movie files at Normal(352/720) quality to a memory card, the recording time increases but the movie may

Using a Memory card (SD/MMC) (not supplied)
✤ Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.
✤ Turning the power off / ejecting the memory card during memory operation such as formatting, deleting, recording, and
playback may damage the data.
✤ You may modify the name of a file / folder stored in the memory card using a PC. The Sports Camcorder may not recognise
modified files.
✤ It is recommended that you power off before inserting or ejecting the memory card to avoid losing data.
✤ It is not guaranteed that you may use a memory card formatted on other devices. Be sure to format your memory card using
the Sports Camcorder.
✤ Save important files separately on other media, such as floppy disk, hard disk, or CD.
✤ You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards that the Sports Camcorder cannot recognise or the
cards that have data saved by other devices.
✤ A memory card has a certain life span. If you use it for a long time, you may not be able to record new data. In this case,
you have to purchase a new memory card.
✤ Do not bend, drop, or apply a strong impact to the memory card.
✤ Do not use or store in a hot, dusty or humid environment.
✤ Do not allow foreign substances on the memory card terminals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required.
✤ Use a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity.
✤ After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and not a malfunction.
✤ Damaged data may not be recovered, and SAMSUNG is not responsible for the lost data. Make sure to back up important
files separately on a PC.
✤ miniSD/RS-MMC cards must be inserted in a special card adapter in order to be used.
✤ Be sure to insert miniSD/RS-MMC cards in the dedicated card adapter before use. Inserting a card in the Sports Camcorder
without the adapter may damage the Sports Camcorder or the card.
✤ Do not insert an empty card adapter in the Sports Camcorder. Do not leave the adapter in the

The Sports Camcorder supports SD and MMC memory cards for data storage.
■
The data storage speed can differ, according to the manufacturer and production system.
- SLC(single level cell) system: faster write speed enabled
- MLC(multi level cell) system: only lower write speed supported.
■
The user using a lower write speed memory card for recording a movie may have difficulties storing the movie on the memory card. You can even
lose your movie data during the recording.
■
In an attempt to preserve any bit of the recorded movie, the Sports Camcorder forcibly stores the movie on the memory card and displays a
warning: <Low speed card. Please record at lower quality.>
■
■
To facilitate the movie recording, you are recommended to use a memory card that supports faster write speed.
If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, it is desirable to lower the recording quality by one level <Fine -> Normal> or decrease
the movie size to 352P to reduce the data size.
■
You can have three quality options to record a movie with the Sports Camcorder:
- <Super Fine, Fine, Normal>
You can record the same scene in three quality levels of <Super Fine, Fine, Normal> However, the better the quality is, the bigger the data size is.
For optimal performance of the Sports Camcorder, ensure that you purchase a fast speed memory card.
