About moisture condensation . . .

You may 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

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.

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