Recommendation for Use of Genuine Panasonic Battery Pack (Rechargeable Battery)
Thank you for using a Panasonic product.
It has been our policy to recommend that the genuine Panasonic battery pack be used for any Panasonic product that uses a battery pack, including digital cameras. It has, however, been found that imitation battery packs that look very similar to the genuine Panasonic battery pack are marketed in some markets.
Some of these imitation battery packs are not equipped with any protective devices that meet given quality standards for permitting use at high power outputs and for long hours. If any of these battery packs of inferior quality is used, it could lead to an accident or failure involving firing or explosion.
To ensure that our products are used in utmost safety, we once again remind you that we recommend the use of a genuine Panasonic battery pack for any Panasonic product that is to use a battery pack. The genuine Panasonic battery packs are sold under our stringent quality control.
Please be advised that we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of an imitation battery pack.
We appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation in this regard.

81 Editing Nonlinear editing with P2 card (PC mode) (continued)
6 Proceed with nonlinear editing using your computer. An icon for the P2 card contents appears as a removable disk in My Computer of your computer. • For further details, refer to the instructions for your computer’s editing software. • When replacing one card with another, if the USB connection is used, check that the access lamp is not flashing and that the data on the card is not being accessed before ejecting the card. If the 1394 connection is used, place the drive icon into the computer’s recycle bin before ejecting the card. • The unit cannot be operated while in PC mode. • When the cable is to be disconnected, proceed with “Safely Remove Hardware” on the computer. In the case of a 1394 connection, first confirm that “1394 DEVICE DISCONNECT” is displayed on the camera-recorder before disconnecting the cable. In the case of a USB connection, “USB DEVICE CONNECT” will remain displayed so check that the card is not being accessed before disconnecting the cable.
7 Switch OFF the camera. • When turning the power off, proceed with “Safely Remove Hardware” on the computer. In the case of a 1394 connection, first confirm that “1394 DEVICE DISCONNECT” is displayed on the camera-recorder before turning the power off. In the case of a USB connection, “USB DEVICE CONNECT” will remain displayed so check that the card is not being accessed before turning the power off. • You cannot cancel the PC mode even if you press the mode button for more than 2 seconds.
P2 cards are compliant with the Type-II standard so you can insert them straight into the computer’s card slots and proceed with nonlinear editing. • The Card Bus driver is contained in the CD- ROM provided.

• It is recommended that you first restore any defective clips contained in the P2 card before copying the data. • In order to avoid the occurrence of trouble in copying, formatting or other operations, it is recommended that you perform these operations after ensuring that power supply has stabilized.
