CAUTIONS
When using the AC Power Adapter/Charger in
areas other than the USA
nThe provided AC Power Adapter/Charger features
automatic voltage selection in the AC range from
110 V to 240 V.
USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG ADAPTER
In case of connecting the unit’s power cord to an
AC wall outlet other than American National
Standard C73 series type use an AC plug adapter,
called a “Siemens Plug”, as shown.
For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest JVC
dealer. Plug adapter
2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
....do not subject to unnecessary shock.
....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.
....fully charge and then fully discharge the
battery every 6 months when storing the
battery pack over a long period time.
....remove from charger or powered unit when
not in use, as some machines use current even
when switched off.
NOTES:
●
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
Temperature Range Specifications
Charging............... 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)
Operation............. 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage................. –10°C to 30°C (–14°F to 86°F)
●
Recharging time is based on room temperature of
20°C (68°F).
●
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 Mini DV
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.

Video Light

DANGER

nThe video light can become extremely
hot. Do not touch it either while in
operation or soon after turning it off,
otherwise serious injury may result.
nDo not place the camcorder into the carrying case
immediately after using the video light, since it
remains extremely hot for some time.
nWhen operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
(11-13/16”) between the video light and people or
objects.
nDo not use near flammable or explosive materials.
nIt is recommended that you consult your nearest
JVC dealer for replacing the video light.
