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  
mounting accessory  
recommended by the  
manufacturer. An appliance and  
cart combination should be moved  
with care. Quick stops, excessive  
force, and uneven surfaces may

Important Safeguards  
15. Power Lines An outside antenna system should  
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

require extensive work by a qualified technician to  
restore the video unit to its normal operation.  
16. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets and  
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or  
electric shock.  
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.  
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.

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.

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 CLEANING”  
appears 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.  
CloggedVideoHead  
Use this cassette only when a head clogging symptoms occur.  
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Tape Operations Caution  
• When you go from function to function (PLAY, FF, REW etc.), please note that the unit  
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.  
Lens Hood Area Operation Caution  
When the following accessories are attached and the zoom is set to maximum wide  
angle, the four corners of the sceen may appear darker:  
• Wide or Telephoto conversion lens (optional).  
• A filter (optional), etc. and then the lens hood.  
• Two filters (optional).  
Self Diagnostic System  
If any of the following numbers appear on-screen, the camcorder may need service. Do  
not remove the battery (if attached) and write down the displayed number on page 101.
