Using the Camcorder in Water  
After use in water, rinse the camcorder with fresh water, then wipe off and dry it  
well in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight as soon as possible. (P.27)  
Before use  
Confirm that there is no foreign material inside the terminal cover. (Foreign material  
causes ingress of water.)  
Make sure that there is no damage to and no  
foreign material (hair, lint, sand, dust, fluid etc.)  
adhered to the packing inside the cover, the SD  
card slot, or the parts around the connectors.  
If you find damage, do Not use the unit.  
Consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC service  
center.  
Close the terminal cover firmly.  
Close the cover firmly until it clicks into place.  
Confirm that the red sign completely goes off.  
CAUTION  
This camcorder is equipped with a waterproof function corresponding to JIS (Japanese  
Industrial Standards) IPX8. This camcorder can make recordings in marine water and  
fresh water not deeper than 3 m (10 ft) or for not more than 30 minutes. (The waterproof  
capability is tested in accordance with JVC test standard and it does not assure damage-  
free or trouble-free operation. Waterproof function not evaluated by UL.)  
Do not soak the camera in hot springs or water of 40 °C (104 °F) or higher.  
Do not subject the camcorder to high water pressure such as in torrent or fall, or to  
excessive pressure or impact such as by diving with the camcorder in hand.  
The waterproof capability cannot be guaranteed if the camcorder is subject to impact  
such as dropping. Consult with the dealer if the camcorder is subject to impact.  
The camcorder sinks in water. Use the strap to prevent it from falling.  
Open and close the cover in a dry place, after wiping moisture off the camcorder.  
Wipe off immediately if such liquids as detergent solution, soap water, hot spring  
water, bath agent, oil, sunscreen lotion or chemical liquid are spilled on the camcorder.  
When used in water, at first, air bubbles may come out of the unit but it is not a  
malfunction.

After use  
After use in water or when dusted with sandy dust, rinse the camcorder with fresh  
water and dry it well as soon as possible.  
1
Press the button for about 1 second to turn off the camcorder.  
Make sure that the connector cover is closed tightly.  
2
Rinse with fresh water.  
Soak and wash in an appropriate depth of still fresh water in basin.  
Push aside the buttons to wash off the dirt in the gap.  
Do not rinse with chemicals, soap, neutral detergent or alcohol.  
Do not apply current of water such as  
tap water directly to this unit.  
3
Dry.  
Wipe off with a dry soft cloth and dry in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. There may  
be water near the microphone. Therefore, aim the camcorder downward and remove the water.  
Wiping with some sand remaining can cause a scratch. Wipe after rinsing the sand off.  
Also, wipe off strange materials and water drops inside the cover.  
CAUTION  
Do not dry with heat such as by using a hairdryer. The waterproof capability will deteriorate.  
Do not leave the camcorder for long time in low temperature environment in cold  
climates or in heat of 40 °C (104 °F) or higher (such as under sun light, in a sun-heated  
car or near the heater). The waterproof capability will deteriorate.  
After use in marine water, soak in adequate amount of fresh water approximately 10  
minutes and rinse with fresh water in order to clean off the salt.  
Do not leave the camcorder soaked in or wet with salt water. It may cause corrosion,  
tarnish, or deterioration of water resistance.  
Remove the strap from camera and rinse the strap with fresh water.  
Do not connect cables or charge with water drops remaining.  
JVC cannot be held responsible of any loss of data due to ingress of water into the unit.  
It is recommended to replace the packing (optional) once a year to maintain the  
waterproof capability. Consult your nearest JVC service center. (P.52)
