Video Light

DANGER:

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 for some time.

When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm

(11-13/16" ft.) between the video light and people or object.

Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.

It is recommended that you consult your nearest JVC dealer for replacing the video light.

General Battery Precautions

If the remote control or cassette adapter is not function- ing even if it is being operated correctly, the batteries are exhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.

Use only the following batteries:

Remote control

AAA (R03) size x 2

(RM-V715U)

 

Cassette adapter

AA (R6) size x 1

(C-P6U or C-P7U)

 

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

1.When replacing batteries, refer to page 50 for the remote control, or read the cassette adapter (C-P6U/C-P7U) instructions.

2.Do not use any different size of batteries from those specified.

3.Be sure to install batteries in the correct direction.

4.Do not use rechargeable batteries.

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

6.Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

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

CAUTIONS

Battery Packs

 

The battery packs are nickel-cadmium

 

or nickel metal-hydride batteries. 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.

 

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

.... 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.

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 S-VHS-C or

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.
