Cautions
AC Adapter
Recording Medium
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.
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.
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.
•
•
Plug Adapter
Do not turn off the camera 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.
•
Battery Packs
Do not store the recording medium in locations
with high temperature or high humidity.
Do not touch the metal parts.
•
The supplied battery pack is Terminals
a lithium-ion battery. Before
using the supplied battery
pack or an optional battery
pack, be sure to read the
•
When formatting or erasing data using the
camera, only the file administration information
is changed. The data is not completely erased
from the hard disk. If you want to completely
erase all of the data, we recommend either
using commercially available software that
is specially designed for that purpose, or
by physically destroying the camera with a
hammer etc.
•
following cautions:
To avoid hazards
•
... 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.
LCD Monitor
... 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 camera with LCD monitor on the
bottom.
•
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.
To prolong service life
... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.
... 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.

... leave the battery pack attached when the
camera is not in use.
... place naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on the apparatus.
... expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
... leave dust or metal objects adhered to the
power plug or an AC wall outlet.
... insert any objects in the camera.
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.
... in places subject to excessive shock or vibration.
... near a television set.
... near appliances generating strong magnetic
or electric fields (speakers, broadcasting
antennas, etc.).
•
•
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.
... in places subject to extremely high (over 40°C)
or extremely low (under 0°C) temperatures.
... in places where the air pressure is low (more
than 3000 m (9870 ft) above the sea level).
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.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with
Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est
conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
... 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.
... 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 camera case excessively when
the camera is inside it.
