Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a
short circuit and possibly start a fire.
Caution! Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold
temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the
battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the Mobile mini
note PC. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

those specified.
3. Be sure to install batteries in the correct
direction.
4. Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat
as they can leak or explode.
5. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
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. To avoid hazards . . .
.... do not burn.

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 of time.
.... remove from charger or power 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

JVC ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
The following menu options are effective only when you have checked the “Enable”
option.
About the expansion effect modes
One of the following three effect modes can be selected.
Each has its own special characteristics as described below depending on the frequency band
pattern which is to be expanded.
• Harmonic Expansion
Expanding the harmonic components contained in music accentuates the lingering tones
and gives the sound an added brilliance. This mode is particularly suited to vocals and
music made by acoustic instruments. It can have an effect on almost all genres of music,
and it is the mode which is normally used.
• High tone Expansion
Expanding the high-tone components enhances the feeling of the sound’s resolution. It is
particularly suited to hard-sounding types of music made by electronic instruments. With
rock or pop music, you can enjoy a more lively sound.
• All range Expansion
This provides an expansion effect over all the range contained in the music. Since there is
no focus on a particular point to be expanded, the CC converter can have an effect with all
types of music.
About the intensity
One of three menu options can be selected as the intensity level of the effect to be exerted by
the CC converter. It is recommended that you select the level of intensity that matches the size
of the speakers that will reproduce the sound, the performance of the headphones and type of
sound data (compressed or non-compressed).
• More presence
The CC converter functions to have the maximum effect.
The “More presence” level is suited to playing back compressed music data through the PC’s
built-in speakers or other small-sized speakers. With some types of music, the noise may be
accentuated in which case the “Standard” or “More natural” option should be selected.
• Standard
With the “Standard” level, the CC converter exerts an effect which is suited to listening to
compressed music data through headphones or mini audio components. This is the setting
which is normally used.
• More natural
The CC converter functions to reproduce the original sound with the highest possible fidelity.
The “More natural” level is suited to listening to non-compressed high-quality data through
large-sized speakers.

Click [OK] to close the displayed subwindow.
• Exit
Quits the CC converter. The CC converter status you have set at this point is held. If you wish
to restart the CC converter, you can start up the program from the Start menu.
Cautions
• Do not change the sound playback device when you are playing back the sound data (such
as an audio file).
• If you have changed the sound playback device, wait five (5) or more seconds before playing
back the data.
• The CC converter can process two-channel PCM data only. A sound device may transfer
multi-channel data or non-PCM data, but the CC converter cannot process such data.
• If you play back data having a high noise level, the noise may be emphasized.
• Users other than the computer administrator (even if they have the Administrator’s authority)
may not change the CC converter setup.
