ANTENNA INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to

the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded so as to provide some protection against

voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810

of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

provides information with regard to proper grounding

of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the

lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of

grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge

unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode.

INSTALLATION

1. Grounding or Polarization

(A) Your product may be equipped with a polarized

alternating-current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into

the power outlet only one way. This is a safety

feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the

outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still

fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your

obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of

the polarized plug.

2. Lightning

For added protection for this product during a lightning

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long

periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will

prevent damage to the product due to lightning and

power-line surges.

(B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire

grounding-type plug, a plug having a third

(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a

grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety

feature.

3. Power Lines

If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,

contact your electrician to replace your obsolete

outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

grounding-type plug.

An outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light

or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power

lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna

system, extreme care should be taken to keep from

touching such power lines or circuits as contact with

them might be fatal.

2. Power Sources

Operate your product only from the type of power

source indicated on the marking label. If you are not

sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult

your product dealer or local power company. If your

product is intended to operate from battery power, or

other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

MAJOR FEATURES

10X Zoom for Magnifying Distant Subjects

When a subject is located too far away to be approached, its image

can be enlarged using 10X zoom.

An image shot by zooming has much higher quality than a non-

zoomed image enlarged using image processing software on a PC.

Cordless Image Transfer Using Infrared Communication (IrTran-P Compatible)

IrTran-P is the most advanced infrared communication protocol

available today.

Images can be transferred to another piece of equipment without

using a cable, provided that it is compatible with the IrTran-P

standard.

Compact Flash Card for Shooting More Images

The Compact Flash card makes it possible to shoot and store

images in addition to those that can be stored in the built-in

memory.

The extra available images mean you don’t have to worry about

missing great shots. Also, by using several Compact Flash cards,

you can make a library of images archived by category, or you can

create personal archives for each person when a single camera is

shared by several users.

BATTERY

Cover

Open the battery cover by performing step 1

of “Loading Batteries” to the left.

Take out batteries by tilting the camera

slightly.

NOTES:

● Do not use manganese batteries as they do not

have sufficient energy to power this camera.

● If the batteries are not used for an extended

period, remove them from the camera to avoid

battery leakage, which can cause malfunctions to

occur.

● Battery life varies depending on the temperature

of the location where the battery is being used.

Initializing the Storage Media

Since the camera is a microcomputer-controlled device, external noise and interference (from a TV, a radio,

etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. For example, when a still image you shot is stored in

memory, the above may cause the following: Although the remaining number of shots indicator shows that

shooting is possible, a still image cannot be stored in memory after shooting.

In such a case, initialize the memory by following steps 1 through 4 below. Please note that initialization

deletes all the still images (including ones for which you performed the “Protect” function) stored in

memory. If you wish to keep any of the still images that are stored in memory, before initialization first

transfer them to a PC and save them. If image data is corrupt, transfer is impossible. Normally, it is not

necessary to initialize a Compact Flash card. However, if a malfunction occurs (for example, if the image

you shot cannot be played back), then initialize the Compact Flash card.

NOTE:

Switch the camera off with the Power Dial before installing a Compact Flash card.

NOTES:

● After initializing, all images stored in the compact flash card, including those which have been protected,

are cleared. Be sure to transfer important images to a PC before proceeding with initialization. However, if

image data is corrupt, it cannot be transferred to a PC.

● Initializing a Compact Flash card does not clear images stored in the camera’s built-in memory.

● If the message “PLEASE INITIALIZE” appears, the built-in memory needs to be initialized. Without

inserting a Compact Flash card, perform steps 1 through 4.

● When a Compact Flash card is not installed, “FORMAT” normally cannot be selected. If it can be selected,

then the built-in memory is malfunctioning. When this occurs, make a back-up of the stored image data

before initializing.

their (+) and (–) polarity marks properly aligned, as

indicated by the orientation marking inside the

battery cover.

Ⅲ The provided AC Power 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.

Plug adapter

•When the batteries become cold in cooler

temperatures [below 10 °C (50 °F)], such as

outdoors in winter, their lifetime shortens and they

may cease to function. If this happens, place the

batteries in your pocket or other warm, protected

place for a short time, then re-insert them in the

camera. We recommend using AA (LR6)-size

nickel-cadmium batteries as they can power the

camera even at 0°C. (32°F)

•If the (+) and (–) polarity marks are dirty with

sweat or oil, this will cause contact failure. Wipe

them off with a dry cloth, then use the batteries.

•Keep new batteries handy if you plan to use the

camera for an extended period of time (for travel,

etc.).

•Before using Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries, be sure to

charge them fully using their designated battery

charger.

•Since batteries become hot after they are ex-

hausted, be careful when replacing them with

new ones.

•If the batteries are not used for an extended

period, remove them from the camera to avoid

battery leakage, which can cause malfunctions to

occur.

•Do not use different kinds of batteries or old and

new batteries together.

•Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat, as it

may cause them to leak or explode.

•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

AC Power Adapter (Optional)

1. To prevent fire, electric shock or injury . . .

.... DO NOT use the AC power adapter with any

power source or voltage not supported.

.... DO NOT modify or disassemble the AC

power adapter. Never attempt to repair or

check it yourself, as this is very dangerous.

Consult your nearest JVC dealer for mainte-

nance on the AC power adapter.

.... DO NOT connect any power cord other than

the one provided to the AC power adapter. If

the power cord's performance or design is

different, fire or electric shock may result.

.... first connect the power cord to the AC power

adapter. If the power cord is connected first

to an AC outlet, and the AC power adapter's

connector comes in contact with a metallic

object, a short-circuit will occur which may

result in fire or injury.

2. To prevent fire, malfunction or electric

shock . . .

.... DO NOT use any AC power adapter except

the one specified with this digital still

camera. If the AC adapter's performance or

design is different than what the digital

camera is designed for, fire, malfunction or

electric shocks may result. Before using,

thoroughly read the instructions of the digital

still camera and the AC power adapter.

•Do not shortcircuit the terminals. Keep them away

from metallic objects when not in use.

3. To avoid malfunction . . .

.... connect the power cord to the AC power

adapter securely. If the power cord is

disconnected during use of the camera,

shooting or playback may become impossi-

ble and the image data may become corrupt.

CAUTIONS (Cont.)

4. To protect the unit, DO NOT . . .

Built-in Rechargeable Battery

.... allow it to become wet.

.... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.

.... subject it to shock or excessive vibration

during transportation.

To store the date/time in memory, a rechargeable

battery is integrated in the camera. As long as the

camera is connected to an AC outlet using the AC

power adapter, or the batteries installed in the

camera continue to supply power to the camera, the

built-in battery is always charged. However, if the

camera is not used for approx. 3 months, the built-

in battery will become discharged and the date/time

stored in memory will be lost. When this occurs,

connect the camera to an AC outlet using the AC

power adapter for over 24 hours to charge the built-

in rechargeable battery. Before using the camera

again, set the date/time.

.... keep the lens directed at extremely bright

objects for long periods.

.... carry it by holding the lens. Be sure to hold

the main unit with both hands.

.... swing it excessively when using the hand

strap.

LCD Monitor

1. To prevent damage to the LCD monitor,

DO NOT . . .

Note that it is possible to use the camera without

setting the date/time.

.... push it strongly or apply any shocks.

.... place the camera with the LCD monitor on

the bottom.

Main Unit

2. To prolong service life . . .

1. For safety, DO NOT . . .

.... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

.... open the camera’s chassis.

3. Be aware of the following phenomena for

LCD monitor use. These are not malfunc-

tions . . .

•While using the camera, the surface around the

LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor

may heat up.

.... disassemble or modify the unit.

.... allow inflammables, water or metallic objects

to enter the unit.

.... remove the batteries or disconnect the power

supply while the power is on.

2. Avoid using the unit . . .

.... in places subject to excessive humidity or

dust.

•If you leave power on for a long time, the surface

around the LCD monitor becomes hot.

.... in places subject to soot or steam such as

near a cooking stove.

.... in places subject to excessive shock or

vibration.

.... near a television set.

.... near appliances generating strong magnetic

or electric fields (speakers, broadcasting

antennas, etc.).

.... in places subject to extremely high (over

40°C or 104°F) or extremely low (under 0°C

or 32°F) temperatures.

How To Handle A CD-ROM

•Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface

(opposite to the printed surface). Do not write

anything or put a sticker on either the front or

back surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently

wipe it with a soft cloth outward from the center

hole using a circular motion.

•Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning

spray.

•Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror

surface.

•Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or

humid environment. Keep it away from direct

sunlight.

3. DO NOT leave the unit . . .

.... in places of over 50°C (122°F).

.... in places where humidity is extremely low.

(below 35%) or extremely high (above 80%).

.... in direct sunlight.

.... in a closed car in summer.

.... near a heater.
