CAUTIONS
Video Light
• The video light becomes extremely hot. Do not
touch it either while in operation or soon after
turning it off, otherwise serious injury may result.
• Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case
immediately after using the video light, since it
remains extremely hot.
• When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
between the video light and people or object.
• Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.
Battery Packs
The supplied battery pack is a
nickel-cadmium battery. Before
using the supplied battery pack or
an optional battery pack, be sure to
read the following cautions:
1. To avoid hazard . . .
.... do not burn.
.... do not short-circuit the terminals.
.... do not modify or disassemble.
.... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong service
life . . .
.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... avoid repeated charging without fully
discharging.
.... charge in an environment where
temperatures are within the tolerances shown
in the chart below. 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.
.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.
.... remove from charger or powered unit when
not in use, as some machines use current
even when switched off.
3. To prevent damage to the camcorder . . .
.... replace the battery pack when it begins to
deliver less recording time per charge.
NOTES:
●
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
Temperature Ranges
Charging ................................ 10°C to 35°C
Operation .............................. 0°C to 40°C
Storage .................................. –10°C to 30°C
●
Recharging time is based on room temperature of
20°C.
●
The lower the temperature, the longer recharging
takes.
General Battery Precautions
• When the C-P6U or C-P7U (cassette adapter) is
not functioning even when correctly operated, the
battery is exhausted. Replace it with a fresh one.
• Use only the following battery:
C-P6U or C-P7U ............................ R6(AA) size
Please make note of the following rules for battery
use. When misused, batteries can leak or explode.
1. Refer to the C-P6U/C-P7U instructions when
replacing the battery.
2. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat as they
can leak or explode.
3. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
4. Remove battery from the unit if it is to be stored
for an extended period to avoid battery leakage
which can cause malfunctions.
