52ENCAUTIONS

When using the AC Power Adapter/Charger in areas other than the USA

The 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.

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 functioning 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 40 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.

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 discharg- ing.

... 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.
