Safety Precautions

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTIONS:
If you notice smoke or a peculiar smell coming
•
from the camcorder or AC Adapter, shut it down and unplug it immediately. Continue using the camcorder or AC Adapter under these conditions could lead to fire or electric shock. Contact your JVC dealer. Do not attempt to repair the malfunction yourself.
To prevent shock, do not open the cabinet. No
•
user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
When you are not using the AC adapter for a
•
long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from AC outlet.
In certain areas, use the conversion plug
•
depending on the type of your AC wall outlet.
NOTES:
The rating plate and safety caution are on the
•
bottom and/or the back of the main unit.
The serial number plate is on the battery pack
•
mount.
The rating information and safety caution of the
•
AC adapter are on its upper and lower sides.
WARNING:
The battery pack and the camcorder with battery installed should not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunshine, fire or the Iike.
CAUTION:
The mains plug shall remain readily operable.
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm 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 flame 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 filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

ENGLISH
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 fire or electric shock.
CAUTION!
The following notes concern possible physical damage to the camcorder and to the user. Carrying or holding the camcorder 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 camcorder.
CAUTION!
Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to the camcorder and leaving it on top of the TV is not recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camcorder to fall, resulting in damage.
CAUTION:
To avoid electric shock or damage to the unit, first firmly insert the small end of the power cord into the AC Adapter until it is no longer wobbly, and then plug the larger end of the power cord into an AC outlet.
If this symbol is shown, it is only valid in the European Union.

ENGLISH
Make a backup of important recorded data
JVC will not be responsible for any lost data. It is recommended to copy your important recorded data to a DVD or other recording media for storage. (Z pg. 22)
Make a trial recording
Before the actual recording of important data, make a trial recording and play back the recorded data to check that the video and sound have been recorded correctly. We recommend you to use the same recording media when performing both the trial recording and the actual recording.
Reset the camcorder if it does not operate correctly
This camcorder uses a microcomputer. Factors such as background noise and interference can prevent it from operating correctly. If the camcorder does not operate correctly, reset the camcorder. (Z pg. 33)
Precautions on handling batteries
Be sure to use the JVC BN-VF808U/VF815U/VF823U battery packs.
•
If the camcorder is subjected to electrostatic discharge, turn the power off before using it
•
again.
If a malfunction occurs, stop using the camcorder immediately and consult your local JVC dealer
If a problem occurs when using the SD card, take the card together with the camcorder
•
for repair. If one of them is not included, the cause of the malfunction cannot be diagnosed, and the camcorder cannot be repaired.
Recorded data may be erased while the camcorder is being repaired or inspected. Back
•
up all data before requesting repairs or inspections.
Because the camcorder may be used for demonstration in a shop, the demonstration mode is set to [ON] by default
To deactivate the demonstration mode, set [DEMO MODE] to [OFF] from the MENU.
When Using an SD Card
Operations are confirmed on the following SD cards.
•
Class 4 or higher compatible SD or SDHC card Panasonic, TOSHIBA, SanDisk, ATP SD card (256 MB to 2 GB) or SDHC card (4 GB to 16 GB)
