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 60C (140F), 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.

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.) A malfunction may cause the recording medium to fail to operate properly. JVC shall not provide any compensation for any lost contents.

Cautions (Continued)

Main Unit

For safety, DO NOT

. open the cameras chassis. disassemble or modify the unit. short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use. allow inflammables, water or metallic objects to enter the unit. remove the battery pack or disconnect the power supply while the power is on. leave the battery pack attached when the camera is not in use. place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus. expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. in places subject to excessive humidity or dust. in places subject to soot or steam such as near a cooking stove. in places subject to excessive shock or vibration. near a television set. near appliances generating strong magnetic or electric fields (speakers, broadcasting antennas, etc.). in places subject to extremely high (over 40C or 104F) or extremely low (under 0C or 32F) temperatures.

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the users authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numrique de la classe B est conforme la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
