LCD Monitor

1.To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO NOT . . .

... push it strongly or apply any shocks.

... place the camcorder with the LCD monitor on the bottom.

2.To prolong service life . . .

... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

3.Be aware of the following phenomena for LCD monitor use. These are not malfunctions:

•While using the camcorder, the surface around the LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor may heat up.

•If you leave power on for a long time, the surface around the LCD monitor becomes hot.

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

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