JVC GR-D90 GR-D70 For Your Maintenance, After Use, Cleaning The Camcorder, Serious malfunctioning

About moisture condensation . . .

You have observed that pouring a cold liquid into a glass will cause drops of water to form on the glass outer surface. This same phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it is moved from a cool place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, under extremely humid conditions or in a place directly subjected to the cool air from an air conditioner.

Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the camcorder itself.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.

The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Adapter, etc.) and wait a few minutes and then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.

2)Cleaning The Camcorder

1.To clean the exterior, wipe gently with a soft cloth. Put the cloth in diluted mild soap and wring it well to wipe off heavy dirt. Then wipe again with a dry cloth.

2.Open the LCD monitor. Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Be careful not to damage the monitor. Close the LCD monitor.

3.To clean the lens, blow it with a blower brush, then wipe gently with lens cleaning paper.

NOTES:

Avoid using strong cleaning agents such as benzine or alcohol.

Cleaning should be done only after the battery pack has been removed or other power units have been disconnected.

Mould may form if the lens is left dirty.

When using a cleaner or chemically treated cloth refer to the cautions of each product.
