Cautions

Battery Packs

The supplied battery

pack is a lithium-ion Terminals battery. Before using

the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

To avoid hazards

... do not burn.

... do not short-circuit the terminals. When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

... do not modify or disassemble.

... do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

... use only specified chargers.

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 “Temperature range specifications” ( pg. 67). 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 recommended that only genuine JVC batteries are used in this camera. Using generic non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the internal charging circuitry.

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature range specifications

Charging: 10°C to 35°C

Operation: 0°C to 40°C

Storage: –20°C to 50°C

The lower the temperature, the longer the recharging takes.

EN 67

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

To resume the original function of the accurate battery power indication

If the battery power indication differs from the actual operating time, fully charge the battery, and then run it down. However this function may not work properly if the battery was used for a long period of time under extremely high/low temperature condition or charged too many times.

Recording Medium

Be sure to follow the guidelines below to prevent corruption or damage to your recorded data.

Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.

Do not splash the recording medium with water.

Do not use, replace, or store the recording medium 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.

Do not store the recording medium in locations with high temperature or high humidity.

Do not touch the metal parts.

Copy the recorded files to your PC. JVC shall not be responsible for any lost data. (It is recommended that you copy the data from your PC to DVD or other media for storage.)
