Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing this hard disk camera. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions contained in the pages 4 – 6 to ensure safe use of this product.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT (for owners in the U.K.) Connection to the mains supply in the United Kingdom.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment.

If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.

BE SURE to replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off be sure to remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below: DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal coded E or Green.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue to N (Neutral) or Black

Brown to L (Live) or Red

If these colours do not correspond with the terminal identifications of your plug, connect as follows:

Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured black.

Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.

If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTIONS:

●To prevent shock, do not open the cabinet. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

●When you are not using the AC adapter for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from AC outlet.

CAUTION:

To avoid electric shock or damage to the unit, first firmly insert the

small end of the power cord into

the AC Adapter until it is no longer wobbly,

and then plug the larger end of the power cord into an AC outlet.

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.)

NOTES:

●The rating plate and safety caution are on the bottom and/or the back of the main unit.

●The serial number plate is on the battery pack mount.

●The rating information and safety caution of the AC adapter are on its upper and lower sides.

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.
