Safety Precautions

201_401. 1-4.p65 01/01/18, 17:072

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.

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

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,

Cautions for the Memory Card

• While Memory Card data is being read, do not remove it, turn off the power, or subject

unit to vibrations and shocks.

• Do not leave the Memory Card in a place with high temperature, exposed to direct

sunlight, or where electromagnetic waves and static electricity can be generated.

• Electromagnetic waves, static electricity, malfunction of the Palmcorder or of the

Memory Card itself could erase the data recorded on it. To prevent the loss of picture

data, we recommend that you make a backup copy on the computer.

• Do not bend or drop the Memory Card as this could damage it or the captured

contents.

• Do not touch the connector on the rear edge of the Memory Card with your fingers and

take care that no dirt, dust or water enters it.

• Do not affix other labels to the Memory Card face or back as Card insertion/removal

may become impossible.

Notes on PHOTOVU LINK/Movie Messenger and CARD LINK operation

• For PHOTOVU LINK/Movie Messenger, do not connect the i.LINK and USB terminals to

the Palmcorder at the same time.

• Make sure Palmcorder power is not shut off during use, your PC system may become

unstable, therefore it is recommended that the AC Adaptor be used as the power

source. (Be especially careful when recording in M-CARD or CAMERA mode as the

power eventually shuts off automatically if a tape is inserted.)

• For PHOTOVU LINK/Movie Messenger, if the play, stop, fast forward, and rewind

functions are operated using the Palmcorder buttons, the image may not be captured

properly. Use Palmcorder Operation Buttons displayed on the PC screen.

For Your Information

Before Requesting Service

(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 a head 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 clogging symptoms occur.

Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Before Requesting Service

Clogged Video Head

• 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.
