Do not subject the memory camcorder to impact: - This memory camcorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against a hard object or let it fall. - Do not use the memory camcorder on a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations or impact. No sand or dust! - Fine sand or dust entering the memory camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause malfunctions or defects. No water or oil! - Water or oil entering the memory camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause electric shock, malfunctions or defects. Heat on surface of product: - The surface of the memory camcorder will be slightly warm when using, but this does not indicate a fault.
Be careful of unusual ambient temperature: - Using the memory camcorder in a place where the temperature is over 140F (40C) or lower than 32F (0C) may result in abnormal recording/playback. - Do not leave the memory camcorder on a beach or in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunctions. Do not point directly at the sun: - If direct sunlight strikes the lens, the memory camcorder could malfunction or a re could occur. - Do not leave the memory camcorder with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight: This could cause malfunction. Do not use the memory camcorder near TV or radio: - This could cause noise to appear on the TV screen or in radio broadcasts. Do not use the memory camcorder near strong radio waves or magnetism: - If the memory camcorder is used near strong radio waves or magnetism, such as near a radio wave tower or electric appliances, noise could enter video and audio that are being recorded. During playback of normally recorded video and audio, noise may also be present in picture and sound. At worst the memory camcorder could malfunction.

On handling a battery pack
To preserve battery power, keep your memory camcorder turned off when you are not operating it. To save battery power, you can set the "Auto Power Off" function which turns off the memory camcorder if there is no operation for 5 minutes. To disable this option, change the setting of "Auto Power Off" to "Off" page 88 Do not allow metallic objects to come into contact with the terminals. Make sure that the battery pack ts rmly into place. Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may cause damage. Be careful to keep the battery pack out of the reach of children. It is a choking hazard, if swallowed. Frequent use of the LCD screen or using the fast forward or rewind buttons wears out the battery pack faster. Remove the battery pack from the camcorder for safekeeping after using your memory camcorder. Leaving the battery pack for extended period of time may discharge the battery pack completely. - A battery pack which is completely discharged may not turn on the recharging LED during charging. It is designed to protect the battery pack, if the recharging LED turns on normally within 5 minutes, use the battery pack as normal.

English_19

Maintaining the battery pack
We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste. Clean the terminals to remove any foreign substances before inserting the battery. Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. re or a heater). Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack. Do not allow the + and - terminals of the battery pack to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce overheating or re. Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant. When fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged. Remove from charger or powered unit when not in use. Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left attached to the memory camcorder. When not using the memory camcorder for an extended period: It is recommended that you fully charge the battery pack once per 6 months, attach it to memory camcorder and use it up: then remove the battery pack and store it in a cool place again. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes signicant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one. Each battery's life is governed by storage, operating and environmental conditions.

The memory camcorder supports SDHC and MMCplus memory cards for data storage. The data storage speed may differ, according to the manufacturer and production system. The user using a lower write speed memory card for recording a movie may have difculties storing the movie on the memory card. You can even lose your movie data during the recording. In an attempt to preserve any bit of the recorded movie, the memory camcorder forcibly stores the movie on the memory card and displays a warning: "Low Speed Card. Please record a lower resolution." To facilitate movie recording, you are recommended to use a memory card that supports faster write speed. If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, resolution of the recording may be lower than the set value. page 66 However, the higher the resolution, the more memory will be used. You can have four resolution options to record a movie with the memory camcorder : "TV Super Fine", "TV Fine", "TV Normal", "Web&Mobile" For optimal performance of the memory camcorder, ensure that you purchase a fast speed memory card.
Actual formatted capacity may be less as the internal rmware uses a portion of the memory.
Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse. We recommend using a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity. After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
