DANGER

The video light become 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.

When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm. (1 ft.) between the video light and people or objects.

Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.

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

.... charge in an environment where tempera-

tures are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer tempera- tures 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.

General Battery Precautions

When the C-P6U or C-P7U (cassette adapter) is not functioning even when correctly operated, the batteries are exhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.

Use only the following battery:

C-P6U or C-P7U

R6(AA) size

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

1.Refer to the C-P6U/C-P7U instructions when replacing the battery.

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

3.Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

4.Remove 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 supplied battery pack is a

 

nickel-cadmium battery. 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.

Terminals

.... do not short-circuit the 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.

.... replace the battery pack when it begins to

deliver less recording time per charge.

NOTE:

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

Temperature Ranges

 

Charging

10°C to 35°C

Operation

0°C to 40°C

Storage

–10°C to 30°C

NOTES:

Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.

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 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.

2.Store cassettes . . .

.... away from heaters or other heat sources.

.... out of direct sunlight.

.... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary shock or vibration.

.... where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic fields (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).

.... vertically, in their original cases.
