This product contains a CR Coin Cell Lithium Battery which contains Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate

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 (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 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.)

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 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.

CAUTION!

Connecting cables (Audio/Video, etc.) to the camera and leaving it on top of the TV is not recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camera to fall, resulting in damage.

CAUTION:

The mains plug shall remain readily operable.

Cautions

AC Adapter

When using the AC adapter in areas other than the USA

The provided AC adapter features automatic voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.

USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG ADAPTER

In case of connecting the unit’s power cord to an AC wall outlet other than American National Standard C73 series type use an AC plug adapter, called a “Siemens Plug”, as shown. For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

Plug Adapter

Battery Pack

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:

To avoid hazards

•

...

do not burn.

...

do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use. When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

...

do not modify or disassemble.

...

do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch ﬁre.

... use only speciﬁed chargers.

To prevent damage and prolong service life

•

... do not subject to unnecessary shock. ... charge within the temperature range of 10°C

to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Cooler temperatures require longer charging time, or in some cases stop charging at all.

Warmer temperatures prevent complete

charging, or in some cases stop charging at all.

... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure

to high 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 powered unit when not

in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.
