Cautions for temperature
●The camera’s protection circuit may work for the proper recording or playback when the camera’s internal temperature rises or during usage in a cold location. ( pg. 56)
●The camera and removable hard disk can heat up when used for an extended period. However, this is not a malfunction.
●The disk can heat up when used for an extended period. Therefore, do not remove it immediately from the camera.
Other cautions
●Condensation can cause the drive to break down. If water is splashed on the drive, make sure that it is completely dried before usage.
●Do not use, replace, or store the disk in locations that are exposed to strong static electricity or electrical noise.
●Do not turn off the camera power or remove the battery or AC adapter during shooting, playback, or when otherwise accessing the recording medium.
●Do not bring the recording medium near objects that have a strong magnetic field or that emit strong electromagnetic waves.
●Since data must be read and written by the drive correctly, the camera may be unable to shoot when the camera heats up, such as during continuous shooting, or when the camera is cooled down during usage in a cold location. To fix this problem, follow the messages displayed on the screen. ( pg. 56)

Be careful to completely delete data when discarding or giving away the removable hard disk.
When recording data is formatted or deleted on the camera, this only modifies the file management information, and the data is not completely erased. When discarding or giving away the removable hard disk, to prevent problems caused by the release of sensitive information, it is extremely important that the customer take responsibility to erase all recorded data. Some recommended methods of erasing data include using a commercial data removal program or using a hammer or strong magnet to physically or magnetically destroy the data on the hard disk so that it cannot be read. JVC shall not be responsible for any personal data that is released.
