2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... charge in an environment where temperatures are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

.... 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 time.

.... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

Video Light

DANGER

■The video light can become extremely hot. Do not touch it either while in operation or soon after turning it off, otherwise serious injury may result.

■Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case immediately after using the video light, since it remains extremely hot for some time.

■When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm (11-13/16”) between the video light and people or objects.

■Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.

■It is recommended that you consult your nearest JVC dealer for replacing the video light.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging ............... 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) Operation ............. 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) Storage ................. –10°C to 30°C (–14°F to 86°F)

●Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C (68°F).

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. During use . . .

.... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV

mark.

.... be aware that recording onto prerecorded

tapes automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.

.... make sure the cassette is positioned properly

when inserting.

.... do not load and unload the cassette

repeatedly without allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and can result in damage.

.... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes

the tape to fingerprints and dust.

2. Store cassettes . . .

.... away from heaters or other heat sources.

.... out of direct sunlight.

.... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary

shock or vibration.

.... where they won’t be exposed to strong

magnetic fields (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).

.... vertically, in their original cases.
