When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. After use, be sure to pull out the AC Mains Lead from the AC mains socket. (If they are left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed. ) Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery always clean. In extremely cold places, condensation may freeze and form frost. In this case, the frost melts first, thus forming condensation, and then it takes another 2 to 3 hours to eliminate the condensation. When the Lens is Fogged: Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF] and leave the Movie Camera in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lens temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally. ª Video Head Clogging and Care If the heads (the parts that make contact with tape) are dirty, mosaic-pattern noise may appear on the playback image, or the screen as a whole becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty, recording performance deteriorates, and, in the worst case, the Movie Camera cannot record at all. Causes of Dirty Heads Large quantity of dust in the air High-temperature and high-humidity environment Damaged tape Long operating hours Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head Cleaner 1 Insert the Head Cleaner into the Movie Camera in the same manner as a Video Cassette. 2 Press the [1] Button, and approximately 20 seconds later, press the [] Button. (Do not rewind the tape. ) 3 Take out the Head Cleaner. Do not leave the Movie Camera in places that expose it to high temperature. Battery Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the Battery. If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places, the terminal may rust and cause malfunctions. Do not allow the Battery terminals to come in contact with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc. ). This can result in a short circuit or heat generation and, if you touch the Battery in this condition, you may be badly burned. Store the Battery in a completely discharged state. To store the Battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you completely use up the charged capacity. Cassette Before storing it, rewind the tape to the beginning. If the Cassette is left for more than 6 months with the tape stopped midway, the tape sags (although it depends on the storage condition). Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the heads of the Movie Camera and other components.
