Maintenance : Cleaning and Maintaining the CAM

After using the CAM

For the safekeeping of the CAM, follow these steps.

√ Turn the CAM off.
√ Remove the Battery Pack (refer to page 20).
√ Remove the Memory Stick (refer to page 34).

* To prevent any damage to the LCD monitor, do not apply excessive force on its moving parts.
Do not drop or in anyway shock the CAM.
For prolonged use of the CAM, avoid using it in places subject to excessive humidity or dust.
Do not leave the CAM in places subject to:

√ Excessive humidity, steam, soot or dust.
√ 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.

* 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.

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.

Maintenance : Cleaning and Maintaining the CAM

Cleaning the Body

\* To Clean the Exterior of the CAM

√ To clean the exterior, use a soft dry cloth. Wipe the body gently.
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.

Using the Built-in Rechargeable Battery

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.

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.

ENGLISH

Maintenance : Cleaning and Maintaining the CAM

Regarding the Battery

■ Battery pack performance decreases when the surrounding temperature is 10^ C ( 50^ F) or below, and shortens the battery life. In that case, do one of the following so that the durability of the battery life can be extended for a longer period of time.
- Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up, and insert it in your Sports Camcorder immediately prior to use.
- Use a large capacity battery pack (Optional).
■ Be sure to set the switch to OFF when not recording or playing back. The battery power is also consumed in standby mode and play back pause.
■ Have your battery packs ready for two or three times the expected recording time, and make trial recordings before make the actual recording.
■ Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant.
- Keep the battery out of reach of children. If it is swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
■ Wipe the battery with a clean dry cloth to ensure proper contact.
■ Do not pick up the battery using metal tools as this may cause a short circuit.

■ Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. Do not disassemble the battery. The battery could explode or catch fire.
■ Use only recommended batteries and accessories. Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause an explosion or leakage, resulting in fire, injury or damage to the surroundings.
■ Install the battery according to the instructions. Improperly installed batteries can cause damage to the camcorder.
■ When you do not use for a long time, remove the battery pack and batteries. Otherwise, the battery may leak. To avoid damage to the product, be sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
■ Remove the batteries from the external lens during extended periods of non-use. To prevent damage to the remote lens, immediately remove spent or expired batteries from the external lens as they may breakdown or leak.
■ Change the batteries if the lamp of external camera doesn't turn on or blinks when you powered.
■ Never use new batteries together with batteries that have been used in other devices.
