34Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for cleaningthe SD Multi AV Device.≥The camera body may be deformed and the surfacefinish may peel off.≥Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the ACMain Lead from the AC Main socket.≥Wipe the SD Multi AV Device with a soft dry cloth. Toremove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soakedin a detergent diluted with water, and afterward, finishwiping with a dry cloth.≥For storing or transporting the SD Multi AV Device, placeit in a bag or case lined with soft pads to prevent thecoating on the camera body from being worn.After use, be sure to take the Card out and detach theBattery from the SD Multi AV Device or pull out the ACMain Lead from AC Main socket.≥If the Battery is left on the SD Multi AV Device for a longtime, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery maynot function even after it is recharged.ª About the LensWhen the Lens is Fogged Up:Turn off the SD Multi AV Device and leave the SD Multi AVDevice in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lenstemperature becomes close to the ambient temperature,the fog disappears naturally.ª About the AC Adaptor≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes longer time thanusual.≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio receptionmay be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or moreaway from radio.≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Main Lead from theAC Main socket. (The SD Multi AV Device consumesapprox. 0.5 W of power even when it is turned off.)≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Batteryclean at all times.≥Remove the battery if the device is left unused for a longtime.≥The temperature of the SD Multi AV Device and thebattery may rise while charging the battery.

However, as theinternal temperature increases, it goes back to thenormal brightness.ª Optimal Use of the BatteryBattery CharacteristicsThis Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Itsability to generate power is based upon the chemicalreaction that takes place inside it. This reaction issusceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity,and, if the temperature is too high or too low, the operatingtime of the Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is usedin an extremely cold environment, the Battery mayoperate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery becomesextremely hot, a protective function may operate, and theBattery may become unusable for a while.Be Sure to Detach the Battery after UseBe sure to detach the Battery from the SD Multi AVDevice. (If it is left attached to the SD Multi AV Device, aminute amount of current is consumed even when the SDMulti AV Device power is off.) If the Battery is left attachedto the SD Multi AV Device for a long time, over dischargetakes place. The Battery may become unusable after it ischarged.Disposing of an Unusable Battery≥The Battery has a limited life.≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may causean explosion.Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery CleanPrevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust,or other substances.If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see if theBattery body and terminals are deformed.Attaching a deformed Battery to the SD Multi AV Devicemay damage the SD Multi AV Device.Extremely high precision technology is employed toproduce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total ofapproximately 110,000 pixels. The result is more than99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixelsinactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunctionand does not affect the recorded picture.
