INSTRUCTIONS

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

2. Lightning

For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

3. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

User convenience is enhanced by the camcorder’s sophisticated autofocus system. The autofocus feature helps ensure that subjects are sharp and in focus, which is especially useful for novice filmmakers who may be learning the ins and outs of manual focusing. The camera also includes several shooting modes, allowing users to easily switch between standard recording and various special effects.

Another notable characteristic of the JVC GR-AXM900 is its capability to record audio with built-in stereo microphones, providing a richer sound quality that complements the video footage. Furthermore, the camcorder comes equipped with a color viewfinder and a flip-out LCD screen, giving users a clear view of their subject while recording.
