Preparation Before using

Handling of Built-in Memory and HDD (Hard disk drive)

: This unit is equipped with the built-in 32 GB memory. When using this component, pay attention to the following points. : This unit is equipped with the built-in 120 GB HDD. While the HDD is capable of storing a large amount of data, there are a few things to look out for. When using this component, pay attention to the following points.

Indemnity about recorded content Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content, and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-built-in memory/HDD related component).

Handling of built-in memory [HDC-TM300] ∫ Back up data periodically. The built-in memory is temporary storage. In order to avoid erasing data due to static electricity, electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures, back up the data to a PC or DVD disc. (l 114, 125)

∫ Access lamp [ACCESS] A

≥ The lamp illuminates while the SD card or built-in memory is being accessed (initialization, recording, playback, deleting etc.). ≥ Do not perform the following operations when the lamp illuminates. It may damage the built-in memory or cause a malfunction in the unit. jTurn the unit off jInsert and remove the USB cable jExpose the unit to vibrations or shock ≥ About disposing of or giving away this unit. (l 154)

Handling of HDD [HDC-HS300] ∫ Do not expose the HDD to vibrations and shocks. Due to the environment and handling conditions, the HDD may be subject to partial damages or may not be able to read, record, and play back data. Do not expose the unit to vibrations or shock, and do not turn off the power during recording or playback. If the unit is used in a place with loud sounds, such as a club or similar venue, the recording may stop due to sound vibrations. Recording data on an SD card is recommended in these places.

∫ Falling detection [ ] is indicated on the screen when it detects a falling state (a weightless state). If the falling state is detected repeatedly, the unit may stop the recording or playback operation in order to protect the HDD.

∫ HDD access lamp [ACCESS HDD] A

∫ Back up data periodically. The HDD is temporary storage. In order to avoid erasing data due to static electricity, electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures, back up the data to a PC or DVD disc. (l 114, 125)

∫ If the HDD experiences any abnormality, back up data immediately. Failure in the HDD may produce continuous noise or choppy sound during recording or playing back. Continuous use will cause further deterioration, and may eventually disable the HDD. If these phenomena are observed, copy the data on the HDD to a PC, a DVD disc etc. immediately and contact consumer support. (l 165, 166) Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be restored.

∫ Operation may stop in hot or cold environments. The unit is disabled in order to protect the HDD.

∫ Do not use the unit in low atmospheric pressures. The HDD may fail if it is used at altitudes of 3000 m (9800 feet) or higher above sea level.

∫ Transportation When the unit is transported, turn off the power and be careful not to shake, drop, or cause impact to the unit.

Troubleshooting

Check points ≥ Charge the battery using the AC adaptor. (l 23) ≥ The battery protection circuit may have operated. Attach the battery to the AC adaptor for 5 to 10 seconds. If the unit still cannot be used, the battery is faulty. ≥ The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold places, the battery using time becomes shorter. ≥ The battery has a limited life. If the operating time is still too short even after the battery is fully charged, the battery has worn out and needs to be replaced.

This unit is turned off automatically.

≥ If you connect to a TV compatible with VIERA Link with a HDMI mini cable and turn off the power on the TV with the remote control for the TV, the power on this unit also turns off. If you are not using VIERA Link, set [VIERA Link] to [OFF]. (l 112) ≥ When this unit is connected to a DVD burner to copy or play back images (a disc is being accessed), the power turns off automatically if the Mini AB USB Connection Cable is removed.

A clicking sound is heard when the unit is shaken.

≥ This is the sound of the lens moving and is not a defect. This sound will no longer be heard when the unit’s power is turned on.

Remaining battery indication is not displayed properly.

≥ The remaining battery capacity indication is an approximation. If you think the remaining battery capacity indication is not displayed correctly, fully charge the battery, discharge it and then charge it again. (Even if this operation is performed, it may not be possible to display the remaining battery capacity correctly if the battery was used for a long period of time where the temperature was low or high or if the battery was repeatedly charged.)

About the battery The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity and temperature and the effect increases the more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas, the full charge indication may not appear or the low battery indication may appear about 5 minutes after starting use. At high temperatures, the protection function may be triggered, making it impossible to use the unit. Be sure to detach the battery after use. ≥ If the battery is left attached, a minute amount of current continues to flow even if the unit’s power is off. Keeping the unit in this state may result in over discharge of the battery. This may result in you not being able to use the battery even after it is charged. ≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag so metal does not come into contact with the terminals. ≥ The battery should be stored in a cool place free from humidity, with as constant temperature as possible. (Recommended temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F), Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%) ≥ Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery. ≥ If the battery is kept in 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 enough to last for 3 to 4 times the period you are planning to record for. Cold places such as a ski resort can shorten recording time. If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged. ≥ Attaching a battery with damaged terminals can damage the unit or AC adaptor.

Do not throw an 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.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 230,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

About the AC adaptor ≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, charging may take time or the battery may not be charged. ≥ If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make sure that the terminals of the battery or the AC adaptor are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects or dust, then reconnect them properly. Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust on the terminals of the battery or the AC adaptor. If the charging lamp is still flashing, the temperature of the battery may be extremely high or extremely low or something may be wrong with the battery or AC adaptor. Contact consumer support. (l 165, 166). ≥ If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the radio. ≥ When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal. ≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.) ≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery clean.

LCD monitor/viewfinder ≥ When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth such as eye glass cleaner. ≥ In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft cloth such as eye glass cleaner. ≥ When the unit has become very cold, for example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual immediately after the power is turned on. The normal brightness will be restored when the unit’s internal temperature rises.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately 113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

About condensation When condensation forms on the unit, the lens will cloud up and the unit may not work properly. Make every effort to ensure that condensation does not form. If it does form, take the actions described below.

Causes of condensation Condensation takes place when the ambient temperature or humidity is changed as follows. ≥ When this unit is brought inside from the cold (e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room. ≥ When this unit is moved from an air-conditioned car to outside. ≥ When a cold room has been warmed up quickly. ≥ When cool wind from an air conditioner is directly blown onto this unit. ≥ After summer afternoon showers of rain. ≥ When this unit is in a very humid place where the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a heated swimming pool) Helpful hint If, for example, you have used this unit for recording on a ski slope and are taking it into a heated room, place the unit inside a plastic bag, remove as much of the air from inside the bag as possible, then seal the bag. Leave the unit for about an hour in the room so the temperature of the unit is close to the ambient temperature of the room, then use it.
