Cautions

ATTENTION:

AC Adapter

The product you have purchased is

that 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.

Recording Medium

Be sure to follow the guidelines below

to prevent corruption or damage to your

recorded data.

•

For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest

JVC dealer.

Do not bend or drop the recording medium,

Plug Adapter

•

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.

Do not turn off the camcorder power or

•

Battery Pack

remove the battery or AC adapter during

shooting, playback, or when otherwise

accessing the recording medium.

The supplied battery pack is a Terminals

lithium-ion battery. Before using

the supplied battery pack or an

optional battery pack, be sure

Do not bring the recording medium near

•

objects that have a strong magnetic ﬁeld or

that emit strong electromagnetic waves.

to read the following cautions:

Do not store the recording medium in locations

•

with high temperature or high humidity.

Do not touch the metal parts.

•

When formatting or erasing data using

the camcorder, 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

camcorder with a hammer etc.

•

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.

... do not modify or disassemble.

... do not expose the battery to temperatures

exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the

battery to overheat, explode or catch ﬁre.

... use only speciﬁed chargers.

Hard Disk

Do not use the unit where it is subject to

vibrations or loud sounds.

If you move the unit suddenly, the drop

detection function may operate and the power

•

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). Cooler temperatures

require longer charging time, or in some cases

stop charging at all. Warmer temperatures

prevent complete charging, or in some cases

stop charging at all.

LCD Monitor

... 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 of time.

... remove from charger or powered unit when not

in use, as some machines use current even

when switched off.

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.
