CAUTIONS

DANGER:

Video Light

The video light becomes 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 between the video light and people or object.

Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.

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

General Battery Precautions

When the C-P6U or C-P7U (cassette adapter) is not functioning even when correctly operated, the battery is exhausted. Replace it with a fresh one.

Use only the following battery:

C-P6U or C-P7U ..................... R6 (AA) size

Please make note of the following rules for battery use. When misused, battery can leak or explode.

1.Refer to the C-P6U/C-P7U instructions when replacing the battery.

2.Do not expose the battery to excessive heat as it can leak or explode.

3.Do not dispose of battery in a fire.

4.Remove battery from the unit if it is to be stored for an extended period to avoid battery leakage which can cause malfunctions.

Battery Packs

The battery packs are nickel-cadmium or nickel metal-hydride batteries. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

1.To avoid hazard . . .

... do not burn.

... do not short-circuit the terminals.

... do not modify or disassemble.

Terminals

... use only specified chargers.

 

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

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.

... 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.

... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.

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

EN59

NOTES:

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications Charging .............. 10°C to 35°C Operation ............ 0°C to 40°C Storage ................ –10°C to 30°C

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

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

Cassettes

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

1.During use . . .

... make sure the cassette bears the VHS-C 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.

Main Unit

1.For safety, DO NOT . . .

... open the camcorder’s chassis.

... disassemble or modify the unit.

... short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use.

... allow inflammables, water or metallic objects to enter the unit.

... remove the battery pack or disconnect the power supply while the power is on.

... leave the battery pack attached when the camcorder is not in use.

2.Avoid using the unit . . .

... in places subject to excessive humidity or dust.

... in places subject to soot or steam such as near a cooking stove.

... in places subject to excessive shock or vibration.

... near a television set.

... near appliances generating strong magnetic or electric fields (speakers, broadcasting antennas, etc.).

... in places subject to extremely high (over 40°C) or extremely low (under 0°C) temperatures.
