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.
When disposing of or giving away this
unit, note that:
≥ Formatting and deletion simply change the
file management information and cannot
be used to completely erase the data in
built-in memory of this unit. The data can
be recovered using commercially available
software or the like.
≥ We recommend that you physically format
the built-in memory before disposing of or
giving away this unit.
To physically format the built-in memory,
connect the unit via the AC adaptor, select
[SETUP] # [FORMAT MEDIA] # [Built-
inMemory] from the menu, and then press
and hold the recording start/stop button on
the screen below for about 3 seconds.
When the built-in memory data deletion
screen appears, select [YES], and then
follow the on-screen instructions.
≥ Please look after the data in your built-in
memory carefully. Panasonic will not be
held responsible in the unlikely case that
private data is divulged.
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,
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 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.
