Note: The Car Battery Cord can only be used in vehicles equipped with DC 12V (negative ground) batteries. Charge the Battery Pack (P. 7) • The usefuloperationtime of the Batterywill gradually decrease after repeated use and recharging. The Battery is no longer serviceable if the operation time is very short, even after a sufficient charge.

CCD Warning When your Palmcorder is aimed at excessively bright objects, such as the sun or other bright lights, a vertical bar may appear in the picture. This is a normal characteristic of the CCD pick-up device. Try to avoid aiming the camera at extremely bright objects. CATV System Installer This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 82040 of the NEC in USA (and to the Canadian Electrical code in Canada) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. Auto-Reset The Palmcorder, provided no tape is inserted, will reset the Backlight, High Speed Shutter and Focus to their AUTO or OFF modes if, after activation, none of these buttons are pressed within 5 minutes. (P. 27) • For proper color reproduction, it is recommended that you use this feature outdoors. For indoor High Speed Shutter recording, additional halogen or tungsten light should be provided. Fluorescent light will degrade the picture quality. • This feature requires ample light. More light is required _or the fastest shutter speeds. • The Auto Focus system may not operate properly in insufficient light when using the High Speed Shutter. 33 Remove the Lens Hood by turning it counterclockwise.
