Cautions  
ATTENTION:  
The battery you  
AC Adapter  
have purchased is  
recyclable. Please call  
1-800-8-BATTERY for  
information on how to  
recycle this battery.  
When using the AC adapter in areas other  
than the USA  
The provided AC adapter features automatic  
voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to  
240 V.  
USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG ADAPTER  
In case of connecting the unit’s power cord to  
an AC wall outlet other than American National  
Standard C73 series type use an AC plug  
adapter, called a “Siemens Plug”, as shown.  
For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest  
JVC dealer.  
Recording Medium  
Be sure to follow the guidelines below  
to prevent corruption or damage to your  
recorded data.  
Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or  
subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.  
Plug Adapter  
Do not splash the recording medium with water.  
Do not use, replace, or store the recording  
medium in locations that are exposed to strong  
static electricity or electrical noise.  
Battery Packs  
Do not turn off the camcorder power or remove  
the battery or AC adapter during shooting,  
playback, or when otherwise accessing the  
recording medium.  
Do not bring the recording medium near objects  
that have a strong magnetic field or that emit  
strong electromagnetic waves.  
Do not store the recording medium in locations  
with high temperature or high humidity.  
Do not touch the metal parts.  
The supplied battery  
Terminals  
pack is a lithium-ion  
battery. Before using  
the supplied battery  
pack or an optional  
battery pack, be sure  
to read the following  
cautions:  
To avoid hazards  
LCD Monitor  
... do not burn.  
... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away  
from metallic objects when not in use. When  
transporting, make sure the provided battery  
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery  
cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic  
bag.  
... do not modify or disassemble.  
... do not expose the battery to temperatures  
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery  
to overheat, explode or catch fire.  
... use only specified chargers.  
To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO  
NOT  
... push it strongly or apply any shocks.  
... place the camcorder with LCD monitor on the  
bottom.  
To prolong service life  
... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.  
To prevent damage and prolong service life  
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.  
... charge within the temperature range of 10°C  
to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). This is a chemical  
reaction type battery — cooler temperatures  
impede chemical reaction, while warmer  
temperatures can prevent complete charging.  
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure  
to high temperatures will increase natural  
discharge and shorten service life.  
... fully charge and then fully discharge the  
battery every 6 months when storing the  
battery pack over a long period time.  
... remove from charger or powered unit when  
not in use, as some machines use current  
even when switched off.

Changes or modifications not approved  
by JVC could void the user’s authority to  
operate the equipment. This equipment has  
been tested and found to comply with the  
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant  
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection  
against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment generates, uses,  
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if  
not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference  
to radio communications. However, there is  
no guarantee that interference will not occur  
in a particular installation. If this equipment  
does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined  
by turning the equipment off and on, the  
user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following  
measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving  
antenna. Increase the separation between the  
equipment and receiver.  
... insert any objects in the camcorder.  
Avoid using the unit  
... in places subject to excessive humidity or dust.  
... in places subject to soot or steam such as  
near a cooking stove.  
... near appliances generating strong magnetic  
or electric fields (speakers, broadcasting  
antennas, etc.).  
... in places subject to extremely high (over 40°C)  
or extremely low (under 0°C) temperatures.  
DO NOT leave the unit  
... in places of over 50°C.  
... in places where humidity is extremely low  
(below 35%) or extremely high (above 80%).  
... in direct sunlight.  
... in a closed car in summer.  
... near a heater.  
... in high places such as on a TV. Leaving the  
unit in high places while a cable is connected  
may result in a malfunction if the cable is  
caught and the unit falls onto the floor.  
To protect the unit, DO NOT  
... allow it to become wet.  
... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.  
... subject it to shock or excessive vibration  
during transportation.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a  
circuit different from that to which the receiver  
is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV  
technician for help.  
... keep the lens directed at extremely bright  
objects for long periods.  
... expose the lens to direct sunlight.  
... swing it excessively when using the hand  
strap.  
... swing the soft camcorder case excessively  
when the camcorder is inside it.
