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.

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.
• When formatting or erasing data using the

camera, only the file administration information
is changed. The data is not completely erased
from the hard disk. If you want to completely
erase all of the data, we recommend either
using commercially available software that
is specially designed for that purpose, or
by physically destroying the camera with a
hammer etc.
Terminals
•
To avoid hazards
... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away
from metallic objects when not in use. 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 within the temperature range of 10°C
to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). 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.
LCD Monitor
•
To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO
NOT
... push it strongly or apply any shocks.
... place the camera with LCD monitor on the
bottom.
• To prolong service life
... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

Cautions (Continued)
Main Unit
•
For safety, DO NOT
... open the camera’s chassis.
... disassemble or modify the unit.
... allow inflammables, water or metal 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.
... leave dust or metal objects adhered to the
power plug or an AC wall outlet.
... insert any objects in the camera.
• Avoid using the unit
... 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 40°C)
or extremely low (under 0°C) temperatures.
... in places where the air pressure is low (more
than 3000 m (9870 ft) above the sea level).
• DO NOT leave the unit
... in places of over 50°C.
... in places where humidity is extremely low
(below 35%) or extremely high (above 80%).
... in direct sunlight.
... in a closed car in summer.
... near a heater.
... in high places such as on a TV. Leaving the
unit in high places while a cable is connected
may result in a malfunction if the cable is
caught and the unit falls onto the floor.
• To protect the unit, DO NOT
... allow it to become wet.
... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.
... subject it to shock or excessive vibration
during transportation.
... keep the lens directed at extremely bright
objects for long periods.
... expose the lens to direct sunlight.
... swing it excessively when using the hand strap.
... swing the soft camera case excessively when
the camera is inside it.
• To prevent the unit from dropping,
• Attach the shoulder strap securely and fasten
the grip belt securely.
• When using the camera with a tripod, attach the
camera to the tripod securely.
If the camera drops, you may be injured and
the camera may be damaged.
When a child uses the unit, there must be
parental guidance.
