䡲
Do not place the camcorder into the
carrying case immediately after using the video
light, since it remains extremely hot for some time.
䡲
When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
(11-13/16”) between the video light and people or
objects.
䡲
Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.
䡲

General Battery Precautions
If the remote control is not functioning even if it is
being operated correctly, the batteries are exhausted.
Replace them with fresh ones.
Use only the following batteries:
AAA (R03) size x 2
Please make note of the following rules for battery
use. When misused, the batteries can leak or
explode.
1.
When replacing batteries, refer to page 53.
2. Do not
use any different size of batteries from
those specified.
3.
Be sure to install batteries in the correct direction.
4. Do not
use rechargeable batteries.
5. Do not
expose the batteries to excessive heat as
they can leak or explode.
6. Do not
dispose of the batteries in a fire.
7.
Remove the batteries from the unit if it is to be
stored for an extended period to avoid battery
leakage which can cause malfunctions.
8. Do not
recharge the provided batteries.
Battery Packs
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:
1. To avoid hazards . . .
...
do not
burn.
...
do not
short-circuit the terminals. 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 (140°F), as this may cause the
battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
2. 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 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.
... 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.
NOTES:
●
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
Temperature Range Specifications
Charging ................ 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)
Operation ............... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage ................... –10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F)
●
Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C
(68°F).
●
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 Mini DV 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.
Terminals
Plug adapter
When using the AC Adapter in areas other than
the USA
䡲
The provided AC Adapter features automatic
voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to
240 V.
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.
