100-K.57-63.p65 59 00/06/14, 11:58 Before Requesting Service Cleaning Care for Video Heads Head (a) Video Head Cleaning: Normally, your Palmcorder will not require head cleaning. However, it is possible that the heads may become clogged due to dust in the air, damaged tape, long term use, etc. If “NEED HEAD CLEANING” appears for 5 seconds in the EVF or LCD monitor, the heads may require cleaning. Clogged Video (b) Cleaning the Heads: It is recommended that head cleaning be performed by a qualified service technician. Please contact your nearest Panasonic Servicentre. An alternate solution is to obtain a head cleaning cassette. Please use a Panasonic cleaning cassette (AY-DVMCL). Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Excessive use of the head cleaning cassette could shorten video head life. Use this cassette only when a head clogging symptom occurs. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
