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.
