2. Cleaning The  Camcorder

1

Wipe gently the exterior with a soft cloth. Put cloth in
diluted mild soap and wring it well to wipe off heavy dirt,
then wipe again with a dry cloth.

2

Open the LCD monitor and wipe it gently with a soft
cloth. Be careful not to damage the monitor. Close the
LCD monitor.

3

Blow the lens with a blower brush, then wipe it gently
with lens cleaning paper.

4

Turn the eyepiece counterclockwise and pull it out.

5

Remove dust from the viewfinder using a blower brush.

6

Re-attach the eyepiece and turn it clockwise.

• Avoid using strong cleaning agents such as benzine or

alcohol.

• Cleaning should be done only after the battery pack has

been removed or other power units have been disconnected.

• Mould may form if the lens is left dirty.
• When using a cleaner or chemically treated cloth, refer to

the cautions that came with it.

• When removing the eyepiece, be sure to hold the viewfinder

securely.

About moisture condensation . . .
• You may have observed that pouring a cold liquid into a

glass will cause drops of water to form on the glass’
outer surface. This same phenomenon occurs on the
head drum of a camcorder when it is moved from a cool
place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, under
extremely humid conditions or in a place directly
subjected to the cool air from an air conditioner.

• Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to

the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the
camcorder itself.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately
and consult your local JVC dealer.
