1. Read Instructions – All the safety and

operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated.

2. Retain Instructions – The safety and

operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the unit

and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions – All operating and

maintenance instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning – Unplug this video unit from the

wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.

6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not

recommended by the video product manufacturer as they may be hazardous.

7. Water and Moisture – Do not use this video

unit near water – for example near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

8. Accessories – Do not place this video unit

on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video unit. Any mounting of the unit should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

For video units intended to be operated from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. Important Safeguards

11. Grounding or Polarization – This video unit

may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC (Alternating Current) line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other) or 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. The 2-wire polarized plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. The 3-wire grounding type plug will fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

12. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply

cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Paying particular attention to cords of plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside

antenna or cable system is connected to the video unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code, in USA Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

14. Lightning – For added protection of this

video unit receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the video unit due to lightning and power-line surges.5 Getting Started Important Safeguards

15. Power Lines – An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

16. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets

and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. Objects and Liquids – Never push objects

of any kind into this video unit through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto the video unit.

18. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this

video unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this

video unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b. If any liquid has been spilled into, or objects have fallen onto, the video unit. c. If the video unit has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the video unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the video unit to its normal operation. e. If the video unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. f. When the video unit exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts – When replacement

parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

21. Safety Check – Upon completion of any

service or repairs to this video unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the video unit is in safe operating order. Precautions USE & LOCATION

• TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD ... Your Camcorder and power supply should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Do not connect the power supply or operate your Camcorder if it gets wet. Your Camcorder has been designed for outdoor use, in all kinds of weather, however it will probably not survive any type of direct exposure to water, rain, sleet, snow, sand, dust, or a direct splashing from a pool or even a cup of coffee. This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your Camcorder. Do not attempt to disassemble this unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Unplug your Camcorder from the power supply before cleaning.

• DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR CAMCORDER TO EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ... Such as, in direct sunlight, inside a closed car, next to a heater, etc... This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your Camcorder.

• AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ... If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form on the tape and inside the unit.

• DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAMCORDER OR THE POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT IN USE.

• A playback signal is not as stable as an off the air TV signal, so the top of your TV screen may appear bent or unstable during playback. This is called, “Horizontal AFC time constant change.” If your TV does not have this control, or adjusting it does not help, contact your TV servicentre. (Some nominal service charges may be required.) Clogged Video Head (a) Video Head Cleaning: Your Palmcorder will not normally require head cleaning; however, it is possible that the heads may become clogged when playing an old or damaged tape. If the image on your screen resembles the photograph on the left while playing back a tape, the heads may require cleaning. (b) Cleaning the Heads: To clean the heads, obtain a head cleaning cartridge. There is a wide range of cleaning cartridges, however, using a worn or poor quality cleaning cartridge will shorten head life. Be sure to follow the instructions that come with the cassette, as excessive use can shorten head life. It is recommended that the cleaning be done by a qualified technician, Please contact your nearest Panasonic Servicentre. (Refer to page 39.) Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
