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.

Precautions on handling batteries

Be sure to use the JVC BN-VF808U/VF815U/VF823U battery packs.

If the camera is subjected to electrostatic discharge, turn the power off before using it again.

If a malfunction occurs, stop using the camera immediately and consult your local JVC dealer

If a problem occurs when using the microSD card, take the card together with the camera for repair. If one of them is not included, the cause of the malfunction cannot be diagnosed, and the camera cannot be repaired.

Recorded data may be erased while the camera is being repaired or inspected. Back up all data before requesting repairs or inspections.
