Safety Precautions
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A. Contains FCC ID: VPYLB1JS955
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines as this equipment has very low levels of RF energy.
Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c) Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.
Frequency Tolerance: ± 20ppm THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN CANADA.
Contains IC: 772C-LB1JS955
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause interference. 2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. HC-X2000/ HC-X1500 (HMN is 1JS2099) has been tested and found to comply with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Before using the unit

Before using the unit

 Before using the unit, always check if the built-in battery is not consumed, and then set the date/time.
The date of the internal clock of the unit resets to January 1, 2020 if the built-in battery is exhausted. This may result in the meta data of the clip not being recorded correctly, and it may not display correctly in the thumbnail screen. Connect the AC adaptor to the main unit or attach a battery when recharging the built-in battery. The date/time set on the main unit is maintained for approximately 6 months when left in this state for approximately 24 hours. (Recharged even when the power is on.) For details about setting the time zone and date/time, refer to [TIME ZONE] (l 21) and [CLOCK SETTING] (l 21).
 When using this product during rain or snow or when at the beach, be careful that water does not get inside the camera.
Water causes damage to the camera and memory card. (Repair may be impossible)
 Take care so sand and/or dust do not get inside the camera when using it at the beach, etc.
Sand and dust may damage the camera and memory card. (Be careful when inserting or removing the memory card)
 AC adaptor and battery  It may take more time to charge or may not be able to charge when the temperature of the
battery is extremely high or extremely low.  Noise may be generated in radio when the unit is used close to a radio (especially when
receiving AM). Keep a distance of 1 m (approx. 3.3 feet) or more when using.  Oscillating sound may generate inside the AC adaptor during the use, but this is not a
malfunction.  Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet after the use. (Power of
approximately 0.1 W is consumed by the AC power itself if kept connected)  Do not get the terminal section of the AC adaptor, or the battery dirty. Install the device close
to the power outlet so the disconnection device (power plug) can be easily reached.
 Charging lamp during charging
When the charging lamp is flashing, the following should be considered.
Flashing with approx. 4 second period (on for approx. 2 seconds, off for approx. 2 seconds):  When the battery is over discharged or the temperature of the battery is too high or low.
It can be charged, but it may take a few hours to complete the charging normally.

13
(ENG) DVQX2023

Before using the unit
 Once normal charging starts, the charging lamp lights up green. However, depending on the conditions of use, even when normal charging is taking place, the charging lamp may keep flashing in approx. 4 second intervals until charging is completed.
Flashing with approx. 0.5 second period (on for approx. 0.25 second, off for approx. 0.25 second):  The battery is not charged. Remove the battery from the unit, and try charging again.  Check that the terminals of the unit or battery are not dirty or covered with a foreign object,
and connect the battery correctly once again. If a foreign object or dirt is present, turn off the unit before removing.  The battery or environment is at an extremely high or low temperature. Wait until the temperature has returned to an appropriate level and try charging again. If you are still unable to charge, there may be a fault in the main unit, battery or AC adaptor.
Off:  Charging has finished.  If the status indicator stays off despite the charging being unfinished, there may be a fault in
the unit, battery or AC adaptor.  If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has
worn out. Please purchase a new battery.
 Memory cards
 The surface of this unit or the memory card may get slightly hot when used for a long period of time, but this is not a malfunction.
 The amount of memory included on the label of the memory card is the total amount of memory below. j Capacity to protect and manage copyright j Capacity usable as the normal memory on the unit or a PC.
 Do not give a strong impact to, bend, or drop the memory card.  Memory card data may become destroyed or erased in the following cases.
j Electrical noise or static electricity j Malfunction of the unit or the memory card  Do not perform the following operations when accessing the memory card (the card 1 access lamp/card 2 access lamp is flashing in orange). j Removing the memory card j Disconnecting battery or the AC adaptor without turning off the main unit j Apply vibration of impact
 Take care not to drop the main unit when carrying the camera.
 Strong impact will damage the main unit, and it may not operate properly.  Hold the handle* or grip when carrying the camera, and handle it carefully. * The handle can be used when the handle unit ( X2000 supplied, X1500 optional) is
attached.

14
DVQX2023 (ENG)

Before using the unit
 Do not allow the camera to remain in contact with a rubber or vinyl object for a long period of time.
 Disconnect the battery or disconnect the AC cable from the power outlet after the use.
 Battery characteristics The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It produces electrical energy via an internal chemical reaction. This chemical reaction is effected by the ambient temperature and humidity. The usable time of the battery becomes shorter when the temperature gets higher or lower. When used in an environment with extremely low temperature, it can only be used for approximately 5 minutes. When the battery is in an extremely hot environment, its protective function will operate and the unit cannot be used temporarily.  After using the unit, be sure to remove the battery. Securely remove the battery from the camera. (Minute current is consumed even if the camera is turned off when the battery is left attached) The battery will become over discharge and may become unusable even if it is recharged when the battery is left attached for long period of time. Do not remove the battery when the power is turned on. Turn off the power and remove the battery after the operation lamp goes completely out.  Take proper care of the battery terminal. Do not allow dust or foreign objects on the battery terminal. Confirm that the battery and its terminal section is not deformed when the battery is dropped by mistake. Do not mount a deformed battery to the camera. This may damage the camera.  Cautions when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the unit or a computer will merely change the file management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards. It is recommended to completely erase the data in following method when discarding/ conveying.  Physically destroy the memory card itself  Completely erase the data in the memory card using a commercially available data erasing
software for PC, etc. Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their memory card.

Before using the unit
 LCD monitor and viewfinder  Condensation sometimes forms on the LCD panel of the LCD monitor in locations subject to
extreme temperature differences. If this happens, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.  Do not touch the LCD monitor with your finger nails, or rub or press with strong force.  The LCD monitor will be slightly darker than normal immediately after the power is turned on
when the camera is very cold. It will return to its regular brightness when the internal temperature increases.  The LCD monitor and viewfinder are managed with high precision so that at least 99.99% of the dots are effective pixels and 0.01% or less are invalid pixels and always lit. This is not a malfunction and it has no effect whatsoever on the recorded images.  It may become difficult to see or difficult to recognize the touch when a LCD protection sheet is affixed.  About Condensation (When the lens, the viewfinder or LCD Monitor is fogged
up) Condensation occurs when there is a change in temperature or humidity, such as when the unit is taken from outside or a cold room to a warm room. Please be careful, as it may cause the lens, the viewfinder or LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, or damaged. When taking the unit to a place which has a different temperature, if the unit is accustomed to the room temperature of the destination for about 1 hour, condensation can be prevented. (When the difference in temperature is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the like, remove air from the bag, and seal the bag.) When condensation has occurred, remove the battery and/or the AC adaptor and leave the unit like that for about 1 hour. When the unit becomes accustomed to the surrounding temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally.
 Caution regarding laser beams The MOS sensor may be damaged if the MOS sensor is subjected to light from a laser beam. Take sufficient care to prevent laser beams from striking the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.
 Treatment of clips Clips recorded with devices other than this unit are not supported by this unit.
 Regarding system frequencies You can change the system frequency (59.94 Hz/50.00 Hz) for this unit by using the menu.  When AVCHD clips are recorded, it is not possible to use the same memory card with
different system frequencies. When the system frequency is changed, use a different memory card.
16
DVQX2023 (ENG)

Before using the unit
 Note the following points.  If you prepare to record important images, always shoot some advance test footage to verify
that both pictures and sound are being recorded normally.  Panasonic will not assume liability when video or audio recording fails due to a malfunction
of the unit or the memory card during the use.  Set the calendar (datetime of the internal clock) and the time zone, or check the setting
before recording. This will have an effect on the management of the recorded contents.
