2. To prevent damage and prolong service
life . . .
....
do not
subject to unnecessary shock.
.... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.
.... charge in an environment where temperatures are within
the tolerances shown in the chart below. 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.
.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.
.... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as
some machines use current even when switched off.
• 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 .................. –10°C to 30°C
• 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 S-VHS-C or
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.
Main Unit
1. For safety, DO NOT . . .
.... open the camcorder’s 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 camcorder is not
in use.
CAUTIONS
Video Light (for applicable models)
DANGER:
• The video light becomes 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 for some time.
• When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
between the video light and people or object.
• Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.
• It is recommended that you consult your nearest JVC dealer
for replacing the video light.
