Video Light

2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

•The video light becomes extremely hot. Do not touch it either while in operation or soon after turning it off, otherwise serious injury may result.

•Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case immediately after using the video light, since it remains extremely hot.

•When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm between the video light and people or object.

Serious malfunctioning

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

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... avoid repeated charging without fully

discharging.

.... charge in an environment where

temperatures are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure

to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.

.... remove from charger or powered unit when

not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

General Battery Precautions

•When the C-P6U or C-P7U (cassette adapter) is not functioning even when correctly operated, the batteries are exhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.

•Use only the following battery:

C-P6U or C-P7U R6(AA) size

Please make note of the following rules for battery use. When misused, batteries can leak or explode.

1.Refer to the C-P6U/C-P7U instructions when replacing batteries.

2.Do not use old and new batteries together.

3.Do not use two different kinds of batteries. Although sizes may be the same, voltages may differ.

4.Do not expose batteries to excessive heat as they can leak or explode.

5.Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

6.Remove batteries from the unit if it is to be stored for an extended period to avoid battery leakage which can cause malfunctions.

Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is a nickel-cadmium battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. To avoid hazard . . .

.... do not burn.

.... do not short-circuit the terminals. Terminals

.... do not modify or disassemble.

.... use only specified chargers.

3. To prevent damage to the camcorder . . .

.... replace the battery pack when it begins to

deliver less recording time per charge.

NOTE:

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Ranges
Charging	10°C to 35°C
Operation	0°C to 40°C
Storage	–10°C to 30°C

NOTES:

●Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.

●The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. During use . . .

..... make sure the cassette bears the VHS-C mark.

..... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes

automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.

..... make sure the cassette is positioned properly

when inserting.

..... do not load and unload the cassette

repeatedly without allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and can result in damage.

..... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes

the tape to fingerprints and dust.

2. Store cassettes . . .

..... away from heaters or other heat sources.

..... out of direct sunlight.

..... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary

shock or vibration.

..... where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic

fields (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).

..... vertically, in their original cases.
