Important Safeguards

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, providesinformation 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 forlong 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.

15. Power Lines An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of

overhead power lines or other electric light

or power circuits, or where it can fall into

such power lines or circuits. When installing

an outside antenna system, extreme careshould be taken to keep from touching such

power lines or circuits as contact with them

might be fatal.

16. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets

and extension cords as this can result in a

risk of fire or electric shock.

17. Objects and Liquids Never push objects

of any kind into this video unit through

openings as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short out parts that could

result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill

liquid of any kind onto the video unit.

18. Servicing Do not attempt to service thisvideo unit yourself as opening or removing

covers may expose you to dangerous

voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing

to qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service Unplug this

servicing to qualified service personnel

under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

b. If any liquid has been spilled onto, orobjects have fallen into the video unit.

c. If the video unit has been exposed to rain

or water.

d. If the video unit does not operate normally

by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions, as

an improper adjustment of other controls

may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the video unit to itsnormal peration.

e. If the video unit has been dropped or the

cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the video unit exhibits a distinct

change in performance this indicates a

need for service.

Disconnecting the Power Source

Set the [OFF/ON] Switch b to [OFF] and, disconnect

the DC Input Lead or remove the Battery.

OWhile pressing the [PUSH] Button S with your

index, remove the battery by pushing it up with your

thumb.

O Do not bring metal objects (such as

necklaces or hairpins) into contact with the

battery terminals. The terminals may short

circuit and generate heat, and touching them

in this condition may cause severe burns.

O The battery heats up during operation and during

charging, as does the camera recorder body.

O If recording and stop operations are repeatedmore than is necessary, the recording time will

be less than the values given in the above table.

O Store the battery only when it is fully discharged.

It is recommended that the battery be charged

once a year when it is being stored long-term

and that it be placed back in storage after it has

been fully discharged using the camera recorder.

OWhen the temperature of the battery unit has

risen to an extremely high level or dropped to an

extremely low level or when the battery is not

used for prolonged periods of time has become

fully discharged, the CHARGE lamp flashes

several times, and charging commencesautomatically.

O If the CHARGE lamp continues to flash even

though the battery temperature is normal, consult

your dealer as a problem may have developed

within the battery or AC adapter.

OWhen the battery is warm, it takes longer than

usual for the battery to be charged.

OWhen the AC adapter is used near a radio, the

radio sound may be distorted. Use the adapter

at a distance of at least one meter from the radio.

O Noise may be heard while the AC adapter is in

use; however, this is normal and not indicative of

any malfunctioning.O The battery cannot be charged while supplying

power from the AC adapter to the camera

recorder.

CAUTION:This unit will operate on 110/120/220/240V AC.

An AC plug adapter may be required for voltages

other than 120V/AC.If a conversion plug is required, consult with your

dealer as to which one is to be purchased.

Adjusting White Balance Manually

1 Attach the Lens Cap and zoom in until theentire screen becomes white.



White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color of

light and makes adjustment so that the white color will

become pure white. The Camera Recorder

determines the hue of light that it receives through the

Lens and White Balance Sensor, thereby judging the

recording condition, and selects the closest hue

setting. This function is called Automatic White

Balance Adjustment.

For light outside the functional Auto White Balance

Adjustment range, use the Manual White Balance

Adjustment Mode.

$ About White Balance SensorThe White Balance Sensor 1 determines the nature

of the light source during recording.

ODo not cover the White Balance Sensor with your

hand during recording. Otherwise, White Balance

will not function normally.

OThe red light from the Recording Lamp 2 will be

reflected off your hand or object, possibly causing

the White Balance sensor to operate incorrectly and

changing the coloring.

Outside of the effective range of Automatic White

Balance Adjustment, the image will become reddish or

bluish. Even within the effective range of Automatic

White Balance Adjustment, the Automatic White

Balance Adjustment may not function properly if there

is more than one light source. In this case, adjust the

White Balance.
