the recorded data to check that the video  
and sound have been recorded correctly.

Be sure to follow the guidelines below  
to prevent corruption or damage to your  
recorded data.  
Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or  
subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.  
Do not splash the recording medium with water.  
Do not use, replace, or store the recording  
medium in locations that are exposed to strong  
static electricity or electrical noise.  
Do not turn off the camera power or remove

Plug Adapter  
Do not bring the recording medium near objects  
that have a strong magnetic field or that emit  
strong electromagnetic waves.  
Do not store the recording medium in locations  
with high temperature or high humidity.  
Do not touch the metal parts.  
When formatting or erasing data using the  
camera, only the file administration information  
is changed. The data is not completely erased  
from the hard disk. If you want to completely  
erase all of the data, we recommend either  
using commercially available software that  
is specially designed for that purpose, or  
by physically destroying the camera with a  
hammer etc.  
Battery Packs  
The supplied battery pack is Terminals  
a lithium-ion battery. Before  
using the supplied battery  
pack or an optional battery  
pack, be sure to read the  
following cautions:  
To avoid hazards  
LCD Monitor  
... do not burn.  
... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away  
from metallic objects when not in use. When  
transporting, make sure the provided battery  
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery  
cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic  
bag.  
... do not modify or disassemble.  
... do not expose the battery to temperatures  
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery  
to overheat, explode or catch fire.  
... use only specified chargers.  
To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO  
NOT  
... push it strongly or apply any shocks.  
... place the camera with LCD monitor on the  
bottom.  
To prolong service life  
... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.  
To prevent damage and prolong service life  
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.  
... charge within the temperature range of 10°C  
to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). This is a chemical  
reaction type battery — cooler temperatures  
impede chemical reaction, while warmer  
temperatures can prevent complete charging.  
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure  
to high temperatures will increase natural  
discharge and shorten service life.  
... fully charge and then fully discharge the  
battery every 6 months when storing the  
battery pack over a long period time.  
... remove from charger or powered unit when  
not in use, as some machines use current  
even when switched off.
