Do not expose the camcorder to soot or steam:
- Thick soot or steam could damage the camcorder case or cause a malfunction.
Do not use the camcorder near corrosive gas:
- If the camcorder is used in a place where there is dense exhaust gas generated by gasoline or diesel engines,
or corrosive gas such as hydrogen sulphide, the external or internal terminals could corrode, disabling normal
operation, or the battery connection terminals could corrode, so that power will not turn on.
Do not use the camcorder near an ultrasonic humidifier:
- Calcium and other chemicals dissolved in water could scatter in the air, and white particles could adhere to the
optical head of the camcorder, which could cause it to operate abnormally.
Do not clean the camcorder body with benzene or thinner:
- The coating of exterior could peel off or the case surface could deteriorate.
- When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow the instructions.
Keep a memory card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket,
therefore the mains plug shall be readily operable.
