CAUTIONS:

This camera is designed to be used with PAL- type colour television signals. It cannot be used for playback with a television of a different standard. However, live recording and LCD monitor playback are possible anywhere.

Use the JVC BN-VF707U battery pack and, to recharge it or to supply power to the camera from an AC outlet, use the provided multi- voltage AC adapter. (An appropriate conversion adapter may be necessary to accommodate different designs of AC outlets in different countries.)

Do not point the lens directly into the sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead to the malfunctioning of internal circuitry. There is also a risk of fire or electric shock.

CAUTION!

The following notes concern possible physical damage to the camera and to the user.

Carrying or holding the camera by the LCD monitor can result in dropping the unit, or in a malfunction.

Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious damage to the camera.

CAUTION!

Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to the camera and leaving it on top of the TV is not recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camera to fall, resulting in damage.
