plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where  
they exit from the unit.  
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside  
antenna or cable system is connected to the video  
unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against  
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Part 1 of  
the Canadian Electrical Code, in USA Section 810 of  
the National Electrical Code, provides information  
with respect to proper grounding of the mast and  
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to  
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,  
connection to grounding electrodes, and  
manufacturer. An appliance and  
cart combination should be moved  
with care. Quick stops, excessive  
force, and uneven surfaces may  
cause the appliance and cart  
combination to overturn.

not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines  
or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can  
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing  
an outside antenna system, extreme care should be  
taken to keep from touching such power lines or  
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.  
16. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets and

require extensive work by a qualified technician to  
restore the video unit to its normal operation.  
17. Objects and Liquids Never push objects of any  
kind into this video unit through openings as they  
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out  
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.  
Never spill liquid of any kind onto the video unit.  
18. Servicing Do not attempt to service this video unit  
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose  
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all  
servicing to qualified service personnel.  
e. If the video unit has been dropped or the cabinet  
has been damaged.  
f. When the video unit exhibits a distinct change in  
performance this indicates a need for service.  
20. Replacement Parts When replacement parts are  
required, be sure the service technician has used  
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or  
have the same characteristics as the original part.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric  
shock or other hazards.  
21. Safety CheckUpon completion of any service or  
repairs to this video unit, ask the service technician to  
perform safety checks to determine that the video  
unit is in safe operating order.

Precautions  
USE & LOCATION  
TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD ... Your Palmcorder and power supply should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Do  
not connect the power supply or operate your Palmcorder if it gets wet. Your Palmcorder has been designed for  
outdoor use, however, it is not designed to sustain direct exposure to water, rain, sleet, snow, sand, dust, or direct  
splashing from a pool or even a cup of coffee. This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your  
Palmcorder. Do not attempt to disassemble this unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Unplug your  
Palmcorder from the power supply before cleaning.  
DO NOT AIM YOUR PALMCORDER AT THE SUN OR OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS  
DO NOT LEAVE THE PALMCORDER WITH THE EVF AIMED DIRECTLY AT THE SUN AS THIS MAY CAUSE  
DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE EVF  
DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR PALMCORDER TO EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ... Such as, direct sunlight,  
inside a closed car, next to a heater, etc... This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your  
Palmcorder.  
AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ... If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm  
place, moisture may form on the tape and inside the unit.  
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PALMCORDER OR THE POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT IN USE.  
STORAGE OF YOUR PALMCORDER ... Store and handle your Palmcorder in a manner that will not subject it to  
unnecessary movement (avoid shaking and striking). Your Palmcorder contains a sensitive pick-up device which  
could be damaged by improper handling or storage.  
CARE  
TO CLEAN YOUR PALMCORDER ... Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning your Palmcorder  
body.  
TO PROTECT THE LENS ... Do not touch the surface of the lens with your hand. Use a commercial Palmcorder  
lens solution and lens paper when cleaning the lens. Improper cleaning can scratch the lens coating.  
TO PROTECT THE FINISH OF YOUR PALMCORDER ... Before handling your Palmcorder, make sure your hands  
and face are free from any chemical products, such as suntan lotion, as it may damage the finish.

Cautions for the Memory Card  
While Memory Card data is being read, do not remove it, turn off the power, or subject  
unit to vibrations and/or shocks.  
Do not leave the Memory Card in a place with high temperature, a place exposed to  
direct sunlight, or a place where electromagnetic waves and static electricity can be  
generated.  
Electromagnetic waves, static electricity, malfunction of the Digital Video Palmcorder or  
of the Memory Card itself could erase the data recorded on it. To prevent the loss of  
picture data, we recommend that you make a backup copy on the computer.  
Do not bend or drop the Memory Card as this could damage it or the captured  
contents.  
Do not touch the connector on the rear edge of the Memory Card with your fingers and  
take care that no dirt, dust or water enters it.  
Do not affix other labels to the Memory Card face or back as Card insertion/removal  
may become impossible.

Notes on PHOTOVU/MPEG4 Movie MessengerSystem operation  
For PHOTOVU/MPEG4 Movie MessengerSystem, do not connect the i.LINK and  
USB terminals to the Palmcorder at the same time.  
Make sure Palmcorder power is not shut off during use as your PC system may become  
unstable. Therefore, the AC Adaptor should be used as the power source. (Be  
especially careful when recording in M-CARD or CAMERA mode as the power  
eventually shuts off automatically if a tape is inserted.)  
For PHOTOVU/MPEG4 Movie MessengerSystem, if the play, stop, fast forward,  
and rewind functions are operated using the Palmcorder buttons, the image may not be  
captured properly. Use Palmcorder Operation Buttons displayed on the PC screen.  
Verifying the driver (Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP)

Before Requesting Service  
Cleaning Care for Video Heads  
(a) Video Head Cleaning: Normally, your Palmcorder will not  
require head cleaning. However, it is possible that the heads  
may become clogged due to dust in the air, playing damaged  
tapes, long term use, etc. If NEED HEAD CLEANINGappears  
for 5 seconds in the EVF or LCD monitor, the heads may  
require cleaning.  
(b) Cleaning the Heads: It is recommended that head cleaning  
be performed by a qualified service technician. Please contact  
your nearest Panasonic Servicenter. An alternate solution is to  
obtain a head cleaning cassette. Please use Panasonic  
cleaning cassette (AY-DVMCLA). Be sure to follow the  
cleaning instructions carefully. Excessive use of the head  
cleaning cassette could shorten video head life.  
Clogged Video Head  
Use this cassette only when a head clogging symptoms occur.  
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

will not accept a new function operation until the previous operation is complete.  
The POWER Button and all function buttons, (PLAY, FF, REW, etc.) are only operational  
after the tape has been completely loaded.
