Serious malfunctioning

For Your  Maintenance
1) After Use

1

Turn off the camcorder.

2

Open the LCD monitor to an angle of over
60 degrees.
Press EJECT for approximately 2 seconds
to open the cassette holder, then remove
the cassette.

3

Close and lock the cassette holder by
pressing the Close button.

4

Close and lock the LCD monitor.

5

Slide BATTERY RELEASE to remove the
battery pack.

6

Attach the provided lens cap to the
camcorder’s lens.

2) Cleaning The Camcorder

1

Gently wipe the exterior with a soft cloth,
with diluted mild soap, wipe off heavy dirt,
then wipe again with a dry cloth.

2

Wipe the LCD monitor 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

Remove dust from the viewfinder using a
blower brush.

• 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.

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.

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