Warning Indications
Indications Function
Displays the battery remaining power.
Remaining power level: high. It does not necessarily mean that the battery
pack is fully charged.
Remaining power level: exhausted
As the battery power comes close to nil, the battery indicator blinks (battery
power warning).
When the battery power is exhausted, power turns off automatically.
Blinks when no cassette is loaded, or when the Erase Protection tab is not in the position
that allows recording. ( pg. 11)
Blinks for approx. 10 seconds when the power is turned on. This display also blinks when
the clock (lithium) battery is either not installed or has discharged. Install or replace the
old battery with a new one. ( pg. 8)
Appears when the tape ends during recording, playback or fast-forward. ( pg. 17)
Blinks for approx. 5 seconds when the camcorder is turned on with the lens cover closed.
( pg. 16)
These 2 warnings appear alternately every 3 seconds if condensation occurs. In this case,
all functions except tape eject and power on/off are disabled. Remove the tape, turn the
unit off (without removing the power supply), wait a few minutes for the warnings to
clear, and turn it on again.
These 2 warnings appear alternately every 3 seconds if dirt is detected on the heads
during recording. In this case, use an optional cleaning cassette. If the warning remains
after cleaning, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
The error indications (E01 — E06) show what type of malfunction has occured. If an
error indication and warning appear, turn the unit off, remove the power supply (battery,
etc.) and wait a few minutes for them to clear. When it does, you can resume using the
camcorder. If the indication remains, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
