AC Power Adapter (Optional)

1.To prevent fire, electric shock or injury . . .

.... DO NOT use the AC power adapter with any power source or voltage not supported.

.... DO NOT modify or disassemble the AC power adapter. Never attempt to repair or check it yourself, as this is very dangerous. Consult your nearest JVC dealer for mainte- nance on the AC power adapter.

.... DO NOT connect any power cord other than the one provided to the AC power adapter. If the power cord's performance or design is different, fire or electric shock may result.

.... first connect the power cord to the AC power adapter. If the power cord is connected first to an AC outlet, and the AC power adapter's connector comes in contact with a metallic object, a short-circuit will occur which may result in fire or injury.

2.To prevent fire, malfunction or electric shock . . .

.... DO NOT use any AC power adapter except the one specified with this digital still camera. If the AC adapter's performance or design is different than what the digital camera is designed for, fire, malfunction or electric shocks may result. Before using, thoroughly read the instructions of the digital still camera and the AC power adapter.

Batteries

•This camera requires 4 AA (LR6)-size alkaline batteries. AA (LR6)-size nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or nickel-metal hydrode (Ni-MH) batteries can also be used. Note that the battery power remaining indicated by the camera does not take the type of batteries being used into account.

•Do not use manganese dioxide or carbon zinc batteries as they do not have sufficient energy to power this camera.

•Use the batteries properly. The wrong use can cause them to leak, or become hot or damaged. When replacing the batteries, insert them with their (+) and (–) polarity marks properly aligned, as indicated by the orientation marking inside the battery cover.

•When the batteries become cold in cooler temperatures [below 10 °C (50 °F)], such as outdoors in winter, their lifetime shortens and they may cease to function. If this happens, place the batteries in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-insert them in the camera. We recommend using AA (LR6)-size nickel-cadmium batteries as they can power the camera even at 0°C. (32°F)

•If the (+) and (–) polarity marks are dirty with sweat or oil, this will cause contact failure. Wipe them off with a dry cloth, then use the batteries.

•Keep new batteries handy if you plan to use the camera for an extended period of time (for travel, etc.).

•Before using Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries, be sure to charge them fully using their designated battery charger.

•Since batteries become hot after they are ex- hausted, be careful when replacing them with new ones.

•If the batteries are not used for an extended period, remove them from the camera to avoid battery leakage, which can cause malfunctions to occur.

•Do not use different kinds of batteries or old and new batteries together.

•Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat, as it may cause them to leak or explode.

•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

•Do not shortcircuit the terminals. Keep them away from metallic objects when not in use.

3.To avoid malfunction . . .

.... connect the power cord to the AC power adapter securely. If the power cord is disconnected during use of the camera, shooting or playback may become impossi- ble and the image data may become corrupt.
