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

NOTES:

●Avoid using strong cleaning agents such as benzine or alcohol.

●Cleaning should be done only after the battery pack has been removed or other power units have been disconnected.

●Mould may form if the lens is left dirty.

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