Then, wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth. Keep the Palmcorder away from magnetically charged equipment (such as a TV, game equipment, etc.) • If you use the Palmcorder near a TV, images or sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave radiation. • Strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors, recording on the tape may be damaged, or images may be distorted. • Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a microprocessor may adversely affect the Palmcorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds. • If the Palmcorder is affected by magnetically charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off the Palmcorder power and detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again. Thereafter, turn on the Palmcorder power. Do not use your Palmcorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines. • If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, recorded images or sounds may be adversely affected. Do not use this Palmcorder for surveillance purpose or other business use. • If you use the Palmcorder for a long period of time, the internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may cause malfunction. • This Palmcorder is not intended for industrial use. When you use your Palmcorder on a beach or similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get Into the Palmcorder. • Sand or dust may damage the Palmcorder or Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and removing the Cassette.) Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the Palmcorder. • If the Palmcorder is sprayed with such chemicals, the Palmcorder body may deform and the surface finish may peel off. • Do not keep a rubber or plastic product in contact with the Palmcorder for a long period of time. When cleaning the Palmcorder, do not use any solvent, such as benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc. •The Palmcorder body may become damaged and the surface finish may peel off. • Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. • Wipe the Palmcorder with a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn stairs, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water and afterward finish wiping with a dry cloth. • For storing or transporting the Palmcorder, place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the coating on the Palmcorder body from becoming worn. After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach the Battery from the Palmcorder or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. • If the Cassette is left in the Palmcorder, the tape sags and deteriorates. • If you leave the Battery attached to the Palmcorder for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery wilt not function even after it is recharged. ■ About the AC Adaptor • If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may continue flashing, and the Battery may not charge. After the temperature of the Battery has decreased or increased sufficiently, charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp continues to flash even after the Battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please contact your dealer. • If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time than normal. • If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or more away from radios. • When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. This is normal. • After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. (If they are left connected, a small amount of electricity is consumed.) • Always, keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery clean. ■ Condensation If excessive moisture condenses in the unit, [DEW DETECTED] Indication will flash, and the Palmcorder will automatically turn off after about 1 minute. If this happens, follow the steps below: 1 Take out the Cassette. • None of the other functions operate. Depending on the amount of condensation, removing the Cassette may become difficult. If this happens, wait for 2 to 3 hours before taking the Cassette out. 2 Open the Cassette Compartment and wait for 2 to 3 hours. • The number of hours you should wait depends on the amount of condensation and ambient temperature. 3 2 to 3 hours later, turn on the Palmcorder and check to see if the [DEW DETECTED] Indication is displayed. • Even if the [DEW DETECTED] Indication is not displayed, as a precaution, please wait for another hour before using the Palmcorder. 65 Watch for Condensation Even Before the [DEW DETECTED] Indication Is Displayed. • Because condensation takes place gradually, the [DEW DETECTED) Indication may not be displayed during the first 10 to 15 minutes of condensation formation inside the Palmcorder. • In extremely cold places, condensation may freeze and form frost. In this case, the frost melts first, thus forming condensation, and then it takes...
