For USA-California Only

This product contains a CR Coin Cell Lithium Battery which contains Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufﬁ cient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm (3-15/16 or more on both sides, on top and at the rear). Do not block the ventilation holes. (If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.) No naked ﬂ ame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus. When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also do not place any containers ﬁ lled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, ﬂ ower vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, ﬁ re or electric shock may be caused.)

Do not point the lens directly into the sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead to the malfunctioning of internal circuitry. There is also a risk of ﬁ re or electric shock.

CAUTION!

The following notes concern possible physical damage to the camera and to the user. Carrying or holding the camera by the LCD monitor can result in dropping the unit, or in a malfunction. Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious damage to the camera.

CAUTION!

Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to the camera and leaving it on top of the TV is not recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camera to fall, resulting in damage.

CAUTION:

The mains plug shall remain readily operable.

WARNING:

The battery pack, the camera with battery installed, and the remote control with battery installed should not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, ﬁ re or the Iike.

Cautions

AC Adapter

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.

Plug Adapter

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:

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, as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch ﬁ re.

... use only speciﬁ ed chargers.

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.

Terminals

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.

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 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 ﬁ eld 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.

•

When formatting or erasing data using the

•

camera, only the ﬁ le 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.

LCD Monitor

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 prolong service life

•

... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

Page 39

Main Unit

For safety, DO NOT

•

... open the camera’s chassis. ... disassemble or modify the unit. ... allow inﬂ ammables, water or metal objects to

enter the unit.

... remove the battery pack or disconnect the

power supply while the power is on.

... leave the battery pack attached when the

camera is not in use.

... place naked ﬂ ame 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 ﬁ elds (speakers, broadcasting

antennas, etc.). ... 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).
