If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
BE SURE
to replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off be sure to remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below:
DO NOT
make any connection to the
Larger Terminal coded E or Green.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue to N
(Neutral) or Black
Brown to L (Live) or Red
If these colours do not correspond with the terminal identifications of your plug, connect as follows:
Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured black.
Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.
If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.

Battery Pack
The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion 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.
Terminals
... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use.
When transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
... do not modify or disassemble.
... do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60 ° C (140 ° F), 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). Cooler temperatures require longer charging time, or in some cases stop charging at all. Warmer temperatures prevent complete charging, or in some cases stop charging at all.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.
... keep a 30% battery level if the battery pack is not to be used for a long period of time.
In addition, fully charge and then fully discharge the battery pack every 6 months, then continue to store it at a
30% battery level .
... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.
... do not drop or subject to strong impact.

Optical performance of lens
Due to the optical performance of the lens, color divergence phenomena (magnification chromatic aberration) may occur at the periphery of the image. This is not a camera malfunction.
o Noise may appear in the image when switching modes.
o If placed on its side, heat release efficiency will deteriorate.
o Use the supplied AC adapter as the power supply. Do not use the supplied AC adapter on other devices.
o When the connectors that come with connector covers are not in use, put on the covers to prevent damage to the connectors.
LCD Monitor and Viewfinder
o The LCD monitor and viewfinder screen are manufactured using high-precision technology.
Black spots may appear on the LCD monitor and viewfinder screen, or red, blue, and/or white spots may not disappear. However, this is not a malfunction and these spots are not recorded on the SD card.
o If you use this unit continuously for a long period of time, the characters displayed in the viewfinder may temporarily remain on the screen. This is not recorded on the SD card. They will not appear after you turn the power off and then on again.
o
If you use this unit in a cold place, the images may appear to lag on the screen, but this is not a malfunction. Retained images are not recorded on the SD card.
o Do not press against the surface with force or subject it to strong impact. Doing so may damage or break the screens.
o Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching between the live video and playback images.
o Due to the characteristic of the viewfinder display device, colors may appear on the images when you blink your eyes. It does not affect the recorded images, SDI output, or HDMI output.

Estimated Charging and Continuous
Operating Times o
Charging Time (supplied SSL-JVC50 battery pack)
Approx. 4 h
Memo :
0 Use up the charge completely before you charge the battery. If the battery is not fully discharged before charging, the battery capacity may drop after repeated cycles.
0 If the battery capacity drops due to repetitive shallow charging and discharging, it may be recovered by using up the charge completely and then fully charging the battery again.
0 If you charge the battery immediately after using while the battery is still warm, it may not be fully charged.
0 It is recommended that you charge the battery in an environment between 10 °C and 35 °C
(50 °F and 95 °F). The battery may not be fully charged or the charging time may be prolonged if charged under low temperatures (below 10 °C/
50 °F).
o Continuous Operating Time (supplied SSL-
JVC50 battery pack)
Approx. 2 hrs 45 mins
Memo :
0 Actual operating times may differ depending on the age of the battery, charging condition, and operating environment.
0 Operating time is shortened in cold environment.
0 The operating time may shorten when power zoom is used, accessories are connected, or when the LCD monitor is frequently used.
0 For purchase of spare batteries and battery charger, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
Precautions for Batteries
0 Store the battery in a cool and dry place when not in use. Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (such as in a car under direct sunlight). This will cause battery leakage and shorten the battery life.
