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 damagefree 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.

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)
