NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIRED SERVICE PERSONNEL

This symbol warns the user that uninsulated

voltage within the unit may have sufficient

magnitude to cause electric shock.

Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind

of contact with any inside part of this unit.

This symbol alerts the user that important

literature concerning the operation and

maintenance of this unit has been included.

Therefore, it should be read carefully in order

•to avoid any problems.

must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference when operated in a residential environment.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, use the equipment in another location

and/or utilize an electrical outlet different from that used by the receiver.

If necessary, consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. You may

find the booklet, 'Something About Interference' available from FCC local reg0onal offices

helpful.

FCC Warning: To assure continued FCC compliance, use only the provided shielded

interface cable when connecting digital video camera to computer in

accordance with instruction herein. Also, any unauthorized changes or

modifications to this equipment could void the user's authority to operate.

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 oberating 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.

9. Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable

operation of the video unit and to protect it from

overheating. These openings must not be blocked or

covered. Never place the video unit on a bed, sofa,

rug, or other similar surface, or near or over a radiator

or heat register. This video unit 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.

10. Power Sources --This video unit should be operated

only from the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power

supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer

or local power company. For video units intended to

be operated from battery power, or other sources,

refer to the operating instructions.

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 3owire 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.

Clogged Video Head

(a) Video Head Cleaning: Normally, your Palmcorder will not

require head cleaning. However, it is possible that the heads

may become clogged due to dust in the air, playing damaged

tapes, long term use, etc. If "NEED HEAD CLEANING"

appears for 5 seconds in the EVF or LCD monitor, the heads

may require cleaning.

(b) Cleaning the Heads: It is recommended that head cleaning

be performed by a qualified service technician. Please contact

your nearest Panasonic Servicenter. An alternate solution is to

obtain ahead cleaning cassette. Please use Panasonic

cleaning cassette (AY-DVMCL). Be sure to follow the cleaning

instructions carefully. Excessive use of the head cleaning

cassette could shorten video head life.

Use this cassette only when a head cloooing symptoms occur.

Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

•When you go from function to function (PLAY, FF, REW etc.), please note that the unit

will not accept a new function operation until the previous operation is complete.

•The POWER Button and all function buttons, (PLAY, FF, REW, etc.) are only operational

after the tape has been completely loaded.

When the following accessories are attached and the zoom is set to maximum wide

angle, the four corners of the sceen may appear darker:

• Wide or Telephoto conversion lens (optional).

• A filter (optional), etc. and then the lens hood.

• Two filters (optional).

If any of the following numbers appear on-screen, the Palmcorder may need service. Do

not remove the battery (if attached) and write down the displayed number on page 71.

Then, take the Palmcorder to a servicenter for repair.
