Before using Selecting the remote control mode If 2 cameras are used simultaneously, set the mode for one pair of movie camera and remote control to [VCR1] and that of the other pair to [VCR2]. This will prevent interference between the 2 pairs. (The default setting is [VCR1]. When the button-type battery is replaced, the setting will revert to the default [VCR1].) 1 Setting on the camera: Set [SETUP] >> [REMOTE] >> [VCR1] or [VCR2]. 2 Setting on the remote control:
[VCR1]: Press [D] and [] simultaneously. 1 [VCR2]: Press [E] and [] simultaneously. 2 Concerning the button-type battery When the button-type battery runs down, replace it with a new battery (part number: CR2025). The battery is normally expected to last about 1 year, but it depends on operation frequency. Keep the button-type battery out of the reach of children. If the remote control mode of the camera and that of the remote control do not match with each other, REMOTE will appear. When the remote control is operated for the first time after the camera is turned on, CHECK REMOTE MODE (-55-) will appear and operation is impossible. Set the same remote control mode. The remote control is intended for indoor operation. Outdoors or under strong light, the movie camera may not operate properly even within the usable ranges.

Others wipe the movie camera with it. Afterwards, wipe it with a dry cloth. When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions. Do not use this movie camera for surveillance purposes or other business use. If you use the movie camera for a long time, the internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may cause malfunction. This movie camera is not intended for business use. When you are not going to use movie camera for an extended time When storing the unit in a cupboard or a cabinet, it is recommended that you put a desiccant (silica gel) in with it. About the battery The battery used in the movie camera is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is susceptible to temperature and humidity, and the effect of temperature increases with increasing or decreasing temperature. In the low temperature range, the fully charged indication may not appear, or the low battery indication may appear about 5 minutes after the start of use. At high temperature, moreover, the protection function may work, disabling use of the movie camera. Be sure to detach the battery after use If the battery is left attached to the movie camera, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the movie camera power is [OFF]. If the battery is left attached to the movie camera for a long time, over-discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable after it is charged. 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% to 60%) Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery. If the battery is kept in a high-temperature, highhumidity, 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. Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording. Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the period during you want to record pictures in. In cold places such as a ski resort, the period during which you can record pictures is shortened. When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries at your destination. If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are deformed. Attaching a deformed battery to the movie camera or AC adaptor may damage the movie camera or AC adaptor. Do not throw old battery into fire. Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion. If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery. About the AC adaptor If the battery is warm, charging requires more time than normal. If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] lamp may continue flashing, and the battery may not be charged. After the battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, recharging starts automatically. So, wait for a while. If the lamp still continues flashing even after the recharging, the battery or AC adaptor may be faulty. If so, please contact a dealer. If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio. When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal. After use, be sure to pull out the AC mains lead from the AC mains socket. (If they are left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.) Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery clean.
