Doing so may result in malfunction or failure.
Hot or cold locations beyond the allowable operating
temperature range of 0 I to 40 I.
Locations beyond the allowable operating humidity range
of 30 % RH to 80 % RH (no condensation)
Near equipment that emits strong magnetic fields, such as
transformers or motors
Near equipment that emits radio waves, such as
transceivers and mobile phones
Locations with excessive dust and sand
Locations that are subjected to strong vibrations

Precautions for Handling the Memory Recorder
When connecting and recording with a camcorder other
than GY-HD200/GY-HD250, the recording may not work properly.
Playing back clips that are created on devices other than
the KA-MR100G Memory Recorder may result in distorted images and choppy sound.
Please do not use the battery that cannot be connected
with this product.
Make sure that the power switch is turned off before
removing the battery. Failure to do so may result in malfunction of the memory recorder or SxS memory card.
Do not unplug the IEEE1394 cable during recording or
playback.
When power is not supplied for a prolonged period of time
(three months or longer), the initial setting screen appears when the power is next turned on.
Do not place objects on the memory recorder.
This product cannot be used by connecting the IEEE1394
terminal of the KA-UM100G adapter (sold separately) to the computer.
Please contact our authorized dealers if inspection of the
interior components or repair is required.
Fire Hazard, Electrical Shock and Injury
Do not place this product on unstable surfaces as it may
fall and lead to injuries or malfunction of the product. When this product is attached to a camcorder, carry it by holding the handle of the camcorder.
Do not remove or modify the cover of this product. It might
result in fire, electrical shock or malfunction of the product.
Do not insert objects other than the memory card into the
card slot. Inserting a metallic or flammable object may result in fire, electrical shock or malfunction of the product.
Accessories
To use the ExpressCard slot on the computer, installation of the SxS memory card device driver software is required. The driver can be found in the bundled CD-ROM.
To copy a video clip to the computer, installation of the computer application software (JVC ProHD Clip Manager) is required. This program can be found in the bundled CD-ROM.
To load recorded video clips to Apple Inc.’s video editing software, Final Cut Pro, installation of the Final Cut Pro plugin software (JVC ProHD Log and Transfer Plugin) is required. This software can be found in the bundled CD-ROM.
For procedures on how to install the software, please refer to the user’s guide and instruction manual in the bundled CD-ROM.
Precautions for Handling SxS Memory Cards
Make sure that the SxS memory card is formatted on this memory recorder. SxS memory cards that are formatted on another product cannot be used on this memory recorder. Formatting an SxS memory card erases all clips that are stored on the card.
Make sure to close the card slot cover before using the memory card.
Do not operate the write-protect switch of the SxS memory card when it is inserted into the memory recorder. For details, please refer to the instruction manual of the SxS memory card.
Precautions for Handling Recorded Video Clips
We do not guarantee against damage of the recorded video clips if the SxS memory card is removed from the slot while data is being accessed (e.g., during recording, playback or formatting). Remove the card only when the access lamp of the memory recorder lights up in green.
We do not guarantee against damage of the recorded video clips in the following cases:
when this product is used in places subject to static
electricity or electrical noises;
when the battery or IEEE1394 cable is removed while data
is being accessed;
when this product is used in sandy or dusty places, or
when a dirty SxS memory card is used.
The recovery feature does not guarantee successful recovery of the damaged files.
JVC shall not be liable for any damage or loss of the recorded video clips. (We strongly recommend that you create a backup for important video clips.)
Maintenance
Turn off the power before performing maintenance. Wipe this product using a soft cloth. Wiping with thinner or benzene may melt or tarnish its surface. For tough stains, wipe using a cloth that is dipped into a neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.
Contact with rubber or plastic products over an extended period of time may cause the outer surface of the product to deteriorate or the paint to peel off.
Saving Energy
If this product is not to be used for a long time, turn off the power of the system for safety and energy conservation reasons.
