Notes and Safety Instructions

Notes regarding moisture condensation

Notes regarding the rotation of the LCD screen

Notes regarding CAMCORDER

1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the camcorder.

for example:

- When you move the camcorder from a cold location to a warm location (e.g. from outside to inside during winter.)

- When you move the camcorder from a cool location to a hot location (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)

2. If the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder for at least two hours in a dry, warm room with

the cassette compartment opened and the battery removed.

1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature (above 60°C or 140°F).

For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Do not let the camcorder get wet.

Keep the camcorder away from rain, sea water, and any other form of moisture. If the camcorder gets wet,

it may get damaged.

Sometimes a malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot be repaired.

Notes and Safety Instructions

Notes regarding the battery pack

Notes regarding Video Head Cleaning

- Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.

- To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not

operating it.

- If your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, and it is left in STBY mode without

being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape installed, it will

automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.

- Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.

Dropping the battery pack may damage it.

- A brand new battery pack is not charged.

Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.

- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when making a long

recording, because the LCD uses up more battery power.

- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If a square block-shape distorts

playback, or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video heads

with a dry type cleaning cassette.

- Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.

* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.

The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

Notes and Safety Instructions

Note regarding the LENS

- Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.

Direct sunlight can damage the CCD(Charge Coupled Device).

1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing towards the sun.

Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful when placing the camcorder under

sunlight or near a window exposed to sunlight.

2. Do not pick up the camcorder from the viewfinder.

3. Over-rotating of the viewfinder may damage it.

1. The LCD display has been manufactured using high precision tech-

nology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in colour)

that appear on the LCD display.

These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way.

2. When you use the LCD display under direct sunlight or outdoors,

it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly.

If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.

3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.

- To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that the hand strap is properly adjusted.

- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could damage it.

Precautions regarding the Lithium battery

1. The camcorder’s built-in lithium battery maintains the clock function and user settings, even if the battery pack or

AC adapter is removed.

2. The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 1 month under normal operation from the time of installation.

3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or is dead, the date/time indicator will flash for about five seconds

when you set the power switch to CAM mode.

When this occurs, connect the camcorder to power to fully recharge the built-in lithium battery.

If the same problem occurs with a fully recharged battery, contact a Samsung authorized Service Centre

to replace the battery.

Precautions regarding the external lithium battery for the remote control

Warning:

■

Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY(Remote Control) out of reach of children.

Should a battery be swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

■

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
