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.

How To Handle a CD-ROM

•Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface (opposite to the printed surface). Do not write anything or put a sticker on either the front or back surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth outward from the centre hole using a circular motion.

•Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning spray.

•Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror surface.

•Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or humid environment. Keep it away from direct sunlight.

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.
