    Cautions for use
    About this unit
    The unit and the SD card become warm 
    during use. This is not a malfunction. 
    						
    							- 94 -
    Do not use the unit for surveillance 
    purposes or other business uses.
    ≥This unit was designed for consumer 
    intermittent use. It was not intended for 
    continuous use, or for any industrial or 
    commercial application resulting in prolonged 
    use.
    ≥ In certain situations, continuous use could 
    cause the unit to overheat and cause a 
    malfunction. Such use is strongly 
    discouraged.
    When you are not going to use the unit for 
    an extended time
    ≥ When storing the unit in a cupboard or 
    cabinet, it is recommended that you place a 
    desiccant (silica gel) in with it.
    The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable 
    lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity 
    and temperature and the effect increases the 
    more the temperature rises or falls. In cold 
    areas, the full charge indication may not appear 
    or the low battery indication may appear about 
    5 minutes after starting use. At high 
    temperatures, the protection function may be 
    triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.
    Be sure to detach the battery after use.
    ≥ If the battery is left attached, a minute amount 
    of current continues to flow even if the unit is 
    off. Keeping the unit in this state may result in 
    over discharge of the battery. This may result 
    in you not being able to use the battery even 
    after it is charged.
    ≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag 
    so metal does not come into contact with the 
    terminals.
    ≥ The battery should be stored in a cool place 
    free from humidity, with as constant 
    temperature as possible. (Recommended 
    temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59  oF to 77  oF), 
    Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)
    ≥ Extremely high temperatures or low 
    temperatures will shorten the life of the 
    battery.
    ≥ If the battery is kept in high-temperature, 
    high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the 
    terminals may rust and cause malfunctions. ≥
    To store the battery for a long period of time, 
    we recommend that you charge it once every 
    year and store it again after you have 
    completely used up the charged capacity.
    ≥ Dust and other matter attached to the battery 
    terminals should be removed.
    Prepare spare batteries when going out for 
    recording.
    ≥ Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 
    times the period you are planning to record 
    for. Cold places such as a ski resort can 
    shorten recording time.
    If you drop the battery accidentally, check to 
    see if the terminals are damaged.
    ≥ Inserting a battery with damaged terminals 
    can damage the unit.
    Do not throw old battery into fire.
    ≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may 
    result in an explosion.
    If the operating time is very short even after 
    the battery has been recharged, the battery 
    has worn out. Please purchase a new 
    battery.
    ≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely 
    high or extremely low, charging may take time 
    or the battery may not be charged.
    ≥ If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio 
    reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC 
    adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the 
    radio.
    ≥ When using the AC adaptor, it may generate 
    whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
    ≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC 
    adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute 
    amount of current is consumed.)
    ≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC 
    adaptor and battery clean.

    When the status indicator is flashing at a 
    particularly fast or slow rate, the following 
    should be considered.
    Flashing with approx. 4 second period (off 
    for approx. 2 seconds, on for approx. 2 
    seconds):
    ≥When the battery is over discharged or the 
    temperature of the battery is too high or low. 
    It can be charged, but it may take a few hours 
    to complete the charging normally.
    ≥ It will flash in approx. 2 second intervals 
    when normal charging resumes. Even in such 
    cases, it may start flashing in approx. 
    4 second intervals until charging is completed 
    depending on the conditions of use.
    Flashing with approx. 0.5 second period (off 
    for approx. 0.25 second, on for approx. 0.25 
    second):
    ≥ The battery is not charged. Remove the 
    battery from the unit, and try charging again.
    ≥ Check that the terminals of the unit or battery 
    are not dirty or covered with a foreign object, 
    and connect the battery correctly once again. 
    If a foreign object or dirt is present, turn off 
    the unit before removing.
    ≥ The battery or environment is at an extremely 
    high or low temperature. Wait until the 
    temperature has returned to an appropriate 
    level and try charging again. If you are still 
    unable to charge, there may be a fault in the 
    unit, battery or AC adaptor.
    Off:
    ≥ Charging has finished.
    ≥ If the status indicator stays off despite the 
    charging being unfinished, there may be a 
    fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor. Refer 
    to page 94  for details on the battery. When disposing of or giving away the SD 
    card, note that:
    ≥
    Formatting and deletion of this unit or 
    computer only changes the file management 
    information and does not completely delete 
    the data in the SD card.
    ≥ It is recommended that the SD card is 
    physically destroyed or the SD card is 
    physically formatted using this unit when 
    disposing of or giving away the SD card.
    For the physical format, connect the unit to 
    the AC adaptor, select [SETUP]  # [FORMAT 
    MEDIA]  # [YES] from the menus, and then 
    press and hold down the Recording start/stop 
    button for approximately 3 seconds on the 
    screen below. When the SD card data 
    deletion screen appears, select [YES], and 
    then follow the on-screen instructions.
    ≥ When the LCD screen is dirty or 
    condensation has occurred, please wipe it 
    using a soft cloth such as eyeglass cleaner.
    ≥ When the unit has become very cold, for 
    example due to storage in a cold area, its 
    LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual 
    immediately after the unit is turned on. The 
    normal brightness will be restored when the 
    unit’s internal temperature rises.

    Extremely high precision technology is 
    employed to produce the LCD Monitor 
    screen. The result is more than 99.99% 
    effective dots with a mere 0.01% of the dots 
    inactive or always lit. However, this is not a 
    malfunction and does not affect the recorded 
    picture.
