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.

Do not place the camcorder in a cabinet or box while the video light is in operation.

When using the video light, if you wish to install the camcorder in a fixed position, attach it to a tripod, etc. Do not affix it directly to a surface such as a table top.

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