FEATURES

PRECAUTIONS

● Setup Menu function for easy camera

preparation

The RM-LP55’s easy-to-use Setup Menu function lets you make all necessary camera settings while referring to the remote’s LCD panel.

● Easy-to-see LCD indications

Operation status can be displayed on the LCD for at-a-glance checking of current camera settings. The display is backlit so indications are clear and easy to read even in the dark.

● AScene FileB function

You can store two different sets of setting data in the remote control’s memory which can be called up whenever necessary and applied directly to the connected camera.

o Safety precautions

● Be sure that no inflammable materials, liquids,

or metal objects are introduced into the RM-LP55. This may damage the internal circuitry and lead to failure.

● Never use the RM-LP55 if it has been modified

or the cover has been removed.

● If the RM-LP55 behaves abnormally (emits

strange sounds, odors, or smoke), cut off the power immediately and contact your nearest JVC-authorized service agent.

o Handling the unit

● Operating environment

Do not install or use the camera in the following locations.

● Places exposed to rain or water

● Places containing vapor or oil soot, such as

kitchens

● Places exceeding the operating ambient

temperature range (0° to 40°)

● Places where corrosive gases are generated

● Places nearby radiation or X-rays as well as

sources of strong radio waves or magnetism

● Places subject to vibration

● Places with excessive dust

● Ambient temperature:

Observe the ambient temperature range as described in the Specifications on page 21.

● External care of the RM-LP55:

Gently wipe off dust with a soft dry cloth (such as flannel). If the unit is extremely dirty, dip a soft cloth into a detergent solution diluted with water, wring it thoroughly, then wipe the dirt off. Dry the unit with a dry cloth. Do not use a rag treated with chemicals or allow volatile liquids such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, etc., to come in contact with the RM-LP55. This may mar the finish or the damage the coating.

● Where there are strong electromagnetic waves

or magnetism, for example near a radio or TV transmitter, transformer, motor, etc., the picture may contain noise and the colors may be incorrect.
