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. fire or heater). Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack. D o not allow the '+' and '-' terminals of the battery pack to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce overheating or fire. Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant. W hen fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged. R emove the battery pack from the charger or camcorder when not in use. Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left attached to the camcorder. W hen not using the camcorder for an extended period: It is recommended that you charge the battery pack once every 6 months, attach it to the camcorder and use it up: then remove the battery pack and store it in a cool place.

About the battery life

B attery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one. Each battery's life is governed by storage, operating and environmental conditions.
Use only Samsung-approved battery packs. Do not use batteries from other manufacturers because there is a danger of overheating, fire or explosion. Samsung is not responsible for problems occurring due to using unapproved batteries.

102_English

Use the provided USB cable. (Supplied by Samsung) Dont apply excessive force when inserting or extracting the USB cable into/from a USB jack. Insert the USB after checking the correct direction of its insertion. We recommend using the AC power adaptor as power supply instead of the battery pack. When the USB cable is connected, turning the camcorder on or off may cause the PC to malfunction. If you disconnect the USB cable from the PC or the camcorder while transferring data, the data transfer will stop and the data may be damaged. If you connect the USB cable to a PC via a USB HUB or simultaneously connect the USB cable along with other USB devices, the camcorder may not work properly. If this occurs, remove all USB devices from the PC and reconnect the camcorder. According to your computer type, the Intelli-studio programme may not run automatically. In this case, open the desired CD-ROM drive that has the Intelli-studio programme in My Computer and run iStudio.exe. When a USB cable is connected, if you have EmoDio (Samsung's MP3 player software) installed on your computer, the EmoDio software may load first.
Step 2. About the Intelli-studio main window When the Intelli-studio starts up, thumbnails of videos and photos are displayed in the main window.

If the Removable Disk window does not appear, confirm the connection (page 100) or repeat steps 1 and 3 again. When the removable disk does not appear automatically, open the removable disk folder of My Computer. If the connected camcorders disk drive does not open or the context menu that appears when right-clicking your mouse (open or browse) appears broken, your computer may be infected by an Autorun virus. Be sure to update your antivirus software to the latest version.

When the 9,999th file is created in the 999th folder (i.e. SDV_9,999.MP4 is created in the 999 VIDEO folder), no more folders can be created. Backup your files to a PC and format the storage media, and then reset the file numbering from the menu. We don't recommend you modify the name of a file/folder stored in the storage media using a PC. If you modify it, this camcorder may not recognise the modified files.

Power Sources (United Kingdom Only)
The mains lead on the power adapter is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used. Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do NOT connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marqueed with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal marqueed with the letter E or the earth symbol, coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW. , or

Technical specifications

Full description

With the K-series, consumers can enjoy near Full HD quality video for the price of a standard definition camcorder. The SMX-K40 records exceptional standard definition video at a resolution of 720 x 480 which can then be played back on an HDTV in near Full HD quality thanks to advanced upscaling technology and HDMI connectivity. The SMX-K40 also offers one of Samsung's most powerful zoom lenses. Consumers have a 65x intelli-zoom at their fingertips which enhances their ability to capture any moment they see no matter how far away they may be. Significantly more reliable than a standard digital zoom which negatively affects the quality of the image, Samsung's intelli-zoom allows users to go beyond the camcorder's 52x optical zoom. The K-series also features Samsung's advanced Optical Image Stabilizer, ensuring that videos taken will be shake-free, when using the camcorder's full 65x intelli-zoom. Furthermore, the camcorder's world class Schneider Kreuznach lens delivers the quality and performance needed to help capture the most impressive video possible.
