Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films and other program materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the camcorder.for example:- When you move the camcorder from a cold location to a warm location (e.g. from outside to inside during winter.)- When you move the camcorder from a cool location to a hot location (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)2. If the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder for at least two hours in a dry, warm room with thecassette compartment opened and the battery pack removed.1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature (above 60°C or 140°F). For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct sunlight.2. Do not let the camcorder get wet.Keep the camcorder away from rain, sea water, and any other form of moisture. If the camcorder gets wet, it may getdamaged.Sometimes a malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot be repaired.Notes regarding CAMCORDERNotices regarding COPYRIGHT Notes regarding moisture condensationNotes and Safety Instructions77ENGLISH00811B SCD907 USA (01~27) 8/23/04 11:41 AM Page 7
- Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.- To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.- If your camcorder is in CAMERA mode and it is left in STBY mode without being operated formore than 5 minutes with a tape installed, it will automatically turn itself off to protect againstunnecessary battery discharge.- Make sure that the battery pack is located correctly and firmly in place.Dropping the battery pack may damage it.- A brand new battery pack is not charged.Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD monitor when making longrecordings, because the LCD monitor uses up more battery power.* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste. * Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the camcorder.- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If a square block-shape distorts playback, or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens,clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.- Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.ENGLISHNotes and Safety Instructions88ENGLISHNotes regarding the battery packNotes regarding the Video Head Cleaning00811B SCD907 USA (01~27) 8/23/04 11:41 AM Page 8
- Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.Direct sunlight can damage the CCD(Charge Coupled Device).1. Do not position the camcorder so that the viewfinder points towards the sun. Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful when placing the camcorder under sunlight or near awindow exposed to sunlight.2. Do not pick up the camcorder using the viewfinder.3. Excessive force when pulling the viewfinder out may damage it.1. The LCD monitor has been manufactured using high precision technology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green incolor) that appear on the LCD monitor.These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in anyway.2. When you use the LCD monitor under direct sunlight or outdoors, it may be difficult to see the picture clearly. If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.- To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that the hand strap is properly adjusted.- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could damage it.Note regarding the LENSNotes regarding electronic viewfinderNotes regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ using the LCD monitorNotes regarding the hand strapNotes and Safety Instructions99ENGLISH00811B SCD907 USA (01~27) 8/23/04 11:41 AM Page 9
ENGLISHNotes and Safety Instructions1010ENGLISHPrecautions regarding the Lithium battery1. The lithium battery maintains the clock function and user settings; even if the battery pack or AC adapter is removed.2. The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 6 months under normal operation from time of installation.3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time indicator will display “---” when you set the DATE/TIME to ON.When this occurs, replace the lithium battery with a new one(type CR2025).4. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.Replace only with the same or equivalent type.Warning: Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of reach of children. Should a battery be swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.SERVICINGDo not attempt to service this CAMCORDER yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.REPLACEMENT PARTS When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by themanufacturer and having the same characteristics as the original part.Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.00811B SCD907 USA (01~27) 8/23/04 11:41 AM Page 10

Using the Lithium Ion Battery PackTable of continuous recording time based on model and battery type.✤If you close the LCD monitor, it switches off and the viewfinder switches on automatically.✤The continuous recording times given in the table above are approximations.Actual recording time depends on usage.Notes■The battery pack should be recharged in an environment of between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). ■The battery pack should never be charged in a room temperature that is below 32°F (0°C).■The life and capacity of the battery pack will be reduced if it is used in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or left in temperaturesabove 104°F (40°C) for a long period, even when it is fully recharged.■Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (fire or flames, for example).■Do not disassemble, process, pressure, or heat the Battery Pack.■Do not allow the + and - terminals of the battery pack to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce fireand overheating.

Completely used (flickers) (The camcorder will turn off soon, change the battery as soon as possible)✤Please refer to the table on page 25 for approximate continuous recording time.✤The recording time is affected by environmental temperature and conditions. The recording time becomes very short in a cold environment. The continuous recording time in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 77°F(25°C). As the environmental temperature and conditions may differ when you actually use the camcorder, the remaining batterytime may not be the same as the approximate continuous recording time given in these instructions.✤The gray bar shown here to indicate battery level, is actually white in the LCD monitor (or viewfinder). For example, on theLCD monitor (or viewfinder), "a" (full) will be displayed as a full white bar, and "e" (empty) will be displayed as a battery outlinewith the background image behind it. Tips for Battery IdentificationA charge mark is provided on the battery pack to help you remember whether it has beencharged or not.Two colors are provided (red and gray). You may choose which one indicates charged and which indicates discharged.Note■The charge mark setting does not affect the battery's charge status.abcde00811B SCD907 USA (01~27) 8/23/04 11:41 AM Page 26
