EN How To Attach The Grip Belt
1) Remove the pad and separate the two straps.

How To Attach The Strap

1) Thread one end of the strap through the eyelet, then pass the other end through the loop.
2) Thread one end of the strap g through the eyelet, then pass the other end through the loop.
2) Attach the screw to the tripod mounting socket. To tighten the screw firmly, use a coin, etc.
3) Repeat the same procedure to attach the strap h to the other eyelet.
3) Adjust the length with the adjuster. 4) Connect the strap g and h and thread the strap h through the buckle, then adjust the grip. ( pg. 12)

5) Attach the pad.

NOTES: You can use the strap as a shoulder strap by adjusting the length with the adjuster. Because the screw may cause damage to the camcorder, make sure to attach the screw to the tripod mounting socket when carrying the camcorder. Use the strap only with this camcorder. Do not grip the camcorder too firmly when the screw is attached. Doing so may cause damage to the tripod mounting socket.

To store the date/time in memory, the clocks rechargeable lithium battery is integrated in the camcorder. While the camcorder is connected to an AC outlet using the AC Power Adapter/Charger, or while the battery pack attached to the camcorder continues to supply power, the clocks rechargeable lithium battery is always charged. However, if the camcorder is not used for approx. 3 months, the clocks lithium battery will become discharged and the date/time stored in memory will be lost. When this occurs, first connect the camcorder to an AC outlet using the AC Power Adapter/Charger for over 24 hours to charge the clocks rechargeable lithium battery. Then perform the date/time setting before using the camcorder. Note that the camcorder can be used without setting the date/time. NOTE: Even if you select CLOCK ADJ., if the parameter is not highlighted, the camcorders internal clock continues to operate. Once you move the highlight bar to the first date/time parameter (month), the clock stops.
