Important safety instructions

14Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing. Do not put objects filled with liquid, such as a vase, on this apparatus.

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the CAMCORDER and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never place your CAMCORDER on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface or on or near a radiator or heat register. This CAMCORDER should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

Operate the CAMCORDER using only the types and sources of power indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your local power company. This CAMCORDER is intended to be powered by a rechargeable battery or by its power supply. Refer to the operating instructions.

This CAMCORDER may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other) or a 3-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). 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 outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to the plug, areas around wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits from the unit.

To protect the CAMCORDER during a lightning storm or when you leave it unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the CAMCORDER due to lightning and powerline surges.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Never push objects of any kind into the CAMCORDER through the openings in its case. The objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out a part that could result in a fire

or electric shock. Never spill liquids of any kind onto the CAMCORDER. Should spillage occur, unplug the unit and have it checked by a technician before use.
