Precautions 
General precautions 
 Do not store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas, as its 
components may be damaged. 
 Do not store the product in a hot environment. High temperatures 
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and 
warp or melt certain plastics. 
 Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product warms up 
to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside, which may 
damage the electronic circuits. 
 Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs. 
High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock 
when exposed. 
 Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may damage the 
internal components. 
 Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents 
to clean the product. Wipe the product with a slightly damp soft 
cloth. 
 Do not open the battery cover while an image is being recorded. 
Doing so will not only make storage of the current image 
impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored on 
file. 
 If the product or any of its accessories are not working properly, 
take them to your nearest qualified service center. The personnel 
there will assist you and if necessary, arrange for the product to be 
repaired.

Notes on Waterproof Case 
Waterproof Case performance 
 The waterproof case performance is equivalent to IPX8 (60m/1hr). 
 Underwater time limit: Do not use the waterproof case underwater 
for more than 60 minutes and 60 meters to ensure water 
resistance.

 The camera and other accessories are not waterproof unless 
enclosed by the waterproof case. 
 When using the camcorder in cold or humid environments or when 
going underwater, use the anti-fog insert to prevent fogging. The 
anti-fog insert only provides a certain degree of prevention, results 
vary depending on the actual environment. The anti-fog insert is 
not for long-term use, it must be replaced regularly.
