Notes Regarding the Battery Pack
Precautions on the CAM Care
-
-
-
-
It is recommended to use original battery pack that is available at SAMSUNG service center.
Make sure the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
To preserve battery power, keep the CAM 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 protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
Make sure that the battery pack is attached firmly in place.
The new battery pack provided with the product is not charged. Before using the battery pack,
you need to fully charge it.
Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
Fully discharging a Lithium Polymer battery damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be
prone to leakage when fully discharged.
1. Please note the following precautions for use:
2. 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.
Do not use the flash close to another’s eyes. The flash emits a strong light that may cause
damage similar to direct sunlight on one’s eyesight. Particular care should be observed if
photographing infants, when the flash should be no less than 3 feet from your subject.
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 they may seriously
damage the finish.
-
-
-
-
To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
Clean the terminal to remove foreign substance before inserting the battery pack.
-
-
-
✤
When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
Batteries must be disposed of as chemical waste.
Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the CAM.

normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way.
Notes Regarding Moisture Condensation
2. When you use the LCD monitor under direct sunlight or outdoors, it maybe difficult to see the
picture clearly.
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the CAM.
3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.
For Example:
-
-
Entering or leaving a heated place on a cold day might cause condensation inside the product.
To prevent condensation, place the product in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it
to a sudden change of temperature.
Precautions Regarding Service
1. Do not attempt to service the CAM yourself.
2. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
3. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Notes Regarding the CAM
1. Do not leave the CAM exposed to high temperature (above 60°C or 140°F).
For example, in a parked closed car in summer or exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Do not let the CAM get wet.
Keep the CAM away from rain, salt water, or any other form of moisture.
The CAM will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high levels of moisture.
Precautions Regarding Replacement Parts
1. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer and having the same characteristics as the original part.
2. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintaining the CAM
After using the CAM
Cleaning the Body
1. For the safekeeping of the CAM, follow these steps.
- Turn the CAM off.
To Clean the Exterior of the CAM
- To clean the exterior, use a soft dry cloth. Wipe the body gently.
- Remove the Battery Pack.
- Remove the Memory Stick.
- Do not apply excessive force when cleaning, gently rub the surface.
- The LCD monitor surface should not be pressed. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the surface.
- To clean the lens, use an optional air blower to blow out dirt and other small objects. Do not wipe
the lens with cloth or your fingers. If necessary, use lens cleaning paper.
- Do not use thinner, alcohol or benzene for cleaning. Otherwise, the finish may be damaged.
- Cleaning should be done only after the battery pack has been removed, and other power sources
have been disconnected.
2. To prevent any damage to the LCD monitor, do not apply excessive force on
its moving parts.
3. Do not drop or in anyway shock the CAM.
4. For prolonged use of the CAM, avoid using it in places subject to excessive
humidity or dust.
Using the Built-in Rechargeable Battery
5. Do not leave the CAM in places subject to:
- Excessive humidity, steam, soot or dust.
The CAM incorporates a rechargeable lithium cell that maintains the date and
other settings even when the AC adaptor and the battery are removed.
The rechargeable lithium cell is automatically recharged when the CAM is used.
- Excessive shock or vibration.
- Extremely high (over 50°C or 122°F) or extremely low (under 0°C or 32°F) temperatures.
- Strong electromagnetic fields.
- Direct sunlight or in a closed car on a hot day.
Charging the Built-in Rechargeable Battery
If The CAM is not used at all, the cell runs down in 5 days. In this case,
connect the AC adaptor to the CAM and turn on the power switch.
Then leave it for 24 hours. After that, set the date and other settings again.
6. For the safe use of the battery pack, follow these.
- To conserve battery power, be sure to turn off the CAM power when not in use.
- Battery consumption may vary depending on the condition of use.
Recording with many starts and stops, frequent zooming,
and recording in low temperatures will shorten actual recording times.
- Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Do not dispose of them in fire.
- The battery pack will become warm during charging and use. This is not a malfunction.
- The battery pack has a limited service life.
If the period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a normal charge,
the battery pack is at the end of its service life. Replace it with a new battery pack.
7. For the safe use of the Memory Stick and the Memory Stick Pro, follow these.
- The Memory Stick should be stored away from heaters and other heat sources.
Avoid storing Memory Sticks under direct sunlight and avoid electromagnetic fields.
- Do not power off any devices while transferring data, as this may destroy the data.
- Back up your image data often to a hard disk or other permanent storage media.
- Format the Memory Stick periodically.
- When formatting the Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro, format in the CAM.
If you format it on PC, use the ‘Memory Stick Formatter’ in the supplied software CD.
