Danger of injuries

Preventing electric shocks

• Never open the camcorder casing or mains adapter plug except to insert the battery.
• Connect the mains adapter plug to a professionally installed 230 V, 50 Hz mains socket.
• To remove the mains adapter quickly and easily from the mains in an emergency, the socket must be easily accessible and close to the appliance.
• Do not bend or crush the mains cable.
  • Take measures to prevent moisture or liquid from penetrating the camcorder or mains adapter.
• Do not touch the mains cable with wet hands.
• Never use the camcorder if the mains adapter is damaged.
  • Always have repairs carried out by qualified professionals.
• Switch the camcorder off immediately if it malfunctions.
• Do not allow the camcorder or mains adapter to come into contact with rain or be splashed by water.
• Do not place containers containing liquid, e.g. vases, on the appliance, the mains adapter or near to these and protect all parts of the device from rain and water. The container may tip over and the liquid will impair the electrical safety.

Risk of explosion

• Never expose batteries or rechargeable batteries to excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, fire or similar).
• Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• Never short-circuit any (rechargeable) batteries.
• Do not dismantle (rechargeable) batteries.

CAUTION! There is a risk of explosion if rechargeable batteries are replaced incorrectly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

Preventing fire hazards

• Always uncoil the entire length of the mains cable.
- Ensure there is adequate ventilation and never cover the mains adapter.
- Do not place naked flames such as lit candles on or near the unit.

Risk of poisoning

- Keep the battery out of reach of children.

Risk of chemical burns

- If the battery is depleted, remove it from the device immediately. There is an increased risk of leakage. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. If these areas come into contact with battery acid, rinse them immediately with plenty of clean water and contact a doctor immediately.

Preventing damage to the eyes

• Do not use the flash close to anyone's eyes.
• When using the camera function do not direct the flash towards the eyes of people or animals.
  • Always maintain a minimum distance of one metre when using the flash, especially with small children.

Preventing damage to the camcorder

• If the battery is leaking, remove it from the camcorder immediately. Clean the contacts before inserting a new battery.
• Use type NP60 lithium-ion batteries only.
• Before inserting the battery, check that the contacts in the camcorder and on the batteries are clean. Clean the battery connections if necessary with a clean, dry cloth or an eraser.
• Do not touch the lens or lens mounting.
• Only use the supplied mains adapter.

Preventing damage to the battery

• Do not reverse the positive (+) and negative (−) terminals to avoid short-circuit.
• Never allow the battery to come into contact with liquids.
• If the camcorder is not going to be used for long periods, remove the battery.

- Direct, intense heat can damage the battery. Therefore, do not expose the camcorder to any sources of direct heat.

Preventing breakages

• Do not drop the camcorder.
• Place the strap around your wrist when carrying the camcorder.

Preventing data loss

- Never interrupt the power supply when data are being processed.

Preventing damage to the SD/SDHC card

- Never withdraw the SD/SDHC card from the camcorder while data are being processed or saved.

Protecting against condensation

• Avoid rapid changes in temperature.
• Place the camcorder in its protective case or a plastic bag before exposing it to any sudden changes in temperature.
• Do not immediately connect the device to the power supply if the unit has been moved from a cold environment to a warm room. The device can safely be connected for charging as soon as the unit has reached room temperature.

Do not use or store the camcorder in direct sunlight or at high temperatures.

At low temperatures, the capacity of the battery can drop significantly due to the reduced speed of the chemical reactions. When recording in cold weather keep a second battery pack in reserve in a warm place (e.g. trouser pocket).
