BEFORE USE Storage precautions Before storing the camera-recorder, remove both the cassette and battery. Store all of these items in a place with a low humidity and relatively constant temperature.

BEFORE USE
Storage precautions
Before storing the camera-recorder, remove
both the cassette and battery. Store all of these
items in a place with a low humidity and
relatively constant temperature.
Recommended temperature range:
59°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C)
Recommended relative humidity:
40% to 60%
Camera-recorder
Wrap the camera-recorder in a soft cloth to
keep the dust off.
Battery
O
The battery life is shortened in places which
are very hot or cold.
O
Storing the battery in a location with oily
vapors or high dust concentrations may
corrode the terminals, cause other damage
and lead to malfunctioning.
O
Keep metal objects (such as necklaces
and hairpins) away from the battery.
Short-circuiting may occur across the
terminals, causing the battery to heat up,
and you may seriously burn yourself if
you touch the battery in this state.
O
The battery should be discharged for
storage. When storing it for an extended
time, we recommended that at least once a
year you charge it, use up its charge by
operating the camera-recorder, and then
store it again.
Cassette tapes
O
Always rewind your tapes to the start before
storing them. If a cassette that has been
stopped part the way through is left standing
for six months or more (this timeframe differs
depending on the storage conditions), the
tape will become slack.
O
Always put tapes back into their original
cases before storing them as factors such as
dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) and
humidity may damage the tapes. Dust
contains particles of hard minerals which
may damage the camera-recorder’s heads
and other parts if they get inside the
cassette.
O
Fast forward and rewind your tapes once
every six months. If tapes are kept wound up
for more than a year, the expansion and
contraction caused by changes in the
temperature and humidity may distort the
tapes. Also, parts of the tape may get stuck
together.
O
Do not place cassettes near equipment or
anything else with strong magnetic fields.
O
The top surface of tapes is coated with
microscopically small magnetic particles
where the signals are recorded. Magnetic
necklaces, toys and other products may have
a stronger magnetic field than you might
suspect: they may be strong enough to erase
recordings and generate noise on the screen
and in the sound.
