Before Use

• In no event will Panasonic be liable for any damages, including any incidental

or consequential damages, stemming from a failure to record data or from lost

settings or data.

Any of the following actions can result in problems:

• Power supply to the recorder is interrupted or impaired during recording, for

example by starting an engine.

• If a P2 card is ejected while it is being accessed.

Always take a trial shoot.

Before making important recordings,

always take a trial shoot to confirm

that recording works as expected.

Especially when using “Backlighting

Compensation” or “Night Shooting

with the IR Function”, verify that

your settings produce the desired

results.

Use together with the Remote

Control Panel and other

specified, separately sold

accessories.

When using for the first time

or when using in a place with

a different time zone, set the

correct time zone.

The factory default time zone setting

is “Eastern Standard Daylight Saving

Time”.

When using in a different time zone,

set the time zone for that region.

Usable memory cards

The recorder is designed to use any

P2 card having the “P2” logo.

Do not turn the power off while

recording

Be sure to stop all operations before

turning the power off (page 21).

Turning the power off especially

during access (for example, during

recording) may damage the P2

card or corrupt file management

data, setting information and

other data on the P2 card. If file

data cannot be read correctly due

to corrupted file management

information on the P2 card, the

card should be reformatted. For

details on reformatting, refer either

to the Operating Instructions of the

Remote Control Panel or contact

your supplier.

Notes on Handling

Usage

• Do not remove a P2 card while

it is being accessed, as the P2

card may be damaged or the P2

card slot may become disabled.

When the recorder senses a

disabled slot, it may reboot itself

automatically.

• Do not set liquid containers or

small metal objects on the recorder

or P2 cards.

• Do not insert foreign objects into

the openings of any devices.

• Do not attempt to modify the

recorder or P2 cards.

•

Do not use the recorder in a place

where it or a P2 card might get wet,

or water might get inside them.

• The recorder is intended to work

only with P2 cards. Do not attempt

to use non-P2 cards, as that could

damage the recorder.

• When inserting a P2 card, make

certain that it is not upside down

or backwards, and do not attempt

to force a bent or damaged P2

card, as that could damage the

card or P2 card slot.

• While the recorder is operating

(and especially recording), do

not disconnect the recorder’s

power cable (included in the

separately sold Cable Kit). Before

disconnecting the power cable,

first stop all operations and turn

the recorder off. Otherwise, the P2

card may be damaged, or recorder

setting files or management data

on the P2 card may be corrupted.

Maintenance

• To clean the recorder, turn the

vehicle’s ignition switch to the

LOCK (OFF) position, and keep

the recorder power turned off

(page 18).

• Do not use solvents such as

benzene, thinner or alcohol, as

these can deform the case or

damage the surface finish.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to dust off the

recorder. If severely soiled, wipe it

with a cloth moistened with a weak

solution of mild synthetic detergent

and wrung out, and afterwards

wipe with a dry cloth.

• If using a chemically treated cloth,

follow the instructions provided

with it.
