Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and

interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of

your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment. DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally,

or if it is damanged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it

is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the

requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your

hearing.

DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete

safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture. ABOVE ALL...

— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other

opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be

safe than sorry!

CAUTIONS

EN 3

Exercise caution when moving the printer. If you drop the unit, do not attempt to use it. If during use you notice that the cabinet is damaged, shut the printer down, remove power supply unit it and contact your JVC dealer. Use of the printer under these conditions can lead to fire or electric shock.

DO NOT place heavy objects on the AC power adapters cords, or leave the cord near any heatgenerating appliance, as this can damage the cords. Avoid excessive pulling or twisting of the power cords. If the power cords becomes cut or otherwise damaged, contact your JVC dealer. When unplugging the AC power adapter, DO NOT pull on the cord. Hold the plug itself and remove it from the AC outlet. Use of the printer with a damaged power cord can lead to fire, electric shock and unit malfunctions.

DO NOT remove the cover and attempt to repair or modify the printer. There are high-voltage components within the unit, and the risk of electric shock and unit malfunctions exists. If a problem occurs, contact your JVC dealer.

ABOUT THERMAL HEADS

•The thermal heads, necessary for printing, are located within the unit. The heads can become extremely warm. To prevent possible burns and injuries, do not touch the thermal heads.

•When the printer is used for extended periods, the thermal heads experience wear and tear just like VCR heads. As the thermal heads become worn, print quality will gradually decrease. When you notice a decline in quality, it is possible that the heads may need to be replaced. Consult your JVC dealer.

DUST

Due to dust or lint adhering to print paper, or to extreme variations in temperature, a small degree of colour smearing or lines may be visible in prints.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the printer.

1. DO NOT place the printer . . .

... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures

or humidity. ... in direct sunlight. ... in a dusty environment. ... in an environment where strong magnetic fields

are generated. ... on a surface that is unstable or subject to

vibration.

2. DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer.

3. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the printer.

4. AVOID violent shocks to the printer during transport.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Illustrations of this printer may differ slightly from production models.

Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. Turn on the power.

2. Set “save mode” to “off” and remove the batteries when the power is automatically turned off.

1. To avoid hazard . . .

.... do not burn.

.... do not short-circuit the terminals.

.... 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.

2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... charge in an environment where tempera-

tures are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. 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 once a year 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.

NOTES:

●

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging ................................ 10°C to 35°C

Operation .............................. 0°C to 40°C

Storage .................................. –10°C to 30°C

●

Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.

●

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

CAUTIONS

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries

apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as there is a risk of fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery terminals, or the battery itself, to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but possess a large power capacity. However, when the battery pack becomes cool in an environment subject to cold temperatures (below 10°C), the battery pack has a characteristic that its usage time becomes shorter and may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then reattach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance. (If you’re using some kind of heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with the pad.)

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.

The printer is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and then reconnect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.
