AC Adapter

Recording Medium

When using the AC adapter in areas other

than the USA

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

Be sure to follow the guidelines below

to prevent corruption or damage to your

recorded data.

•

Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or

•

subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.

Do not splash the recording medium with water.

Do not use, replace, or store the recording

medium in locations that are exposed to strong

static electricity or electrical noise.

•

Do not turn off the camera power or remove

•

the battery or AC adapter during shooting,

playback, or when otherwise accessing the

recording medium.

JVC dealer.

Plug Adapter

Do not bring the recording medium near objects

that have a strong magnetic ﬁeld or that emit

strong electromagnetic waves.

•

Do not store the recording medium in locations

with high temperature or high humidity.

•

Do not touch the metal parts.

•

When formatting or erasing data using the

camera, only the ﬁle administration information

is changed. The data is not completely erased

from the hard disk. If you want to completely

erase all of the data, we recommend either

using commercially available software that

is specially designed for that purpose, or

by physically destroying the camera with a

hammer etc.

•

Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is Terminals

a lithium-ion battery. Before

using the supplied battery

pack or an optional battery

pack, be sure to read the

following cautions:

To avoid hazards

•

LCD Monitor

... do not burn.

... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away

from metallic objects when not in use. 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, as this may cause the battery

to overheat, explode or catch ﬁre.

... use only speciﬁed chargers.

To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO

NOT

•

... push it strongly or apply any shocks.

... place the camera with LCD monitor on the

bottom.

•

To prolong service life

... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

To prevent damage and prolong service life

•

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

... charge within the temperature range of 10°C

to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). 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.

interference by one or more of the following

measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna. Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

... insert any objects in the camera.

Avoid using the unit

•

... in places subject to excessive humidity or dust.

... 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 extremely low (under 0°C) temperatures.

... in places where the air pressure is low (more

than 3000 m (9870 ft) above the sea level).

DO NOT leave the unit

•

... in places of over 50°C.

... 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.

... in high places such as on a TV. Leaving the

unit in high places while a cable is connected

may result in a malfunction if the cable is

caught and the unit falls onto the ﬂoor.

To protect the unit, DO NOT

•

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the receiver

is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

... allow it to become wet.

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

... subject it to shock or excessive vibration

during transportation.

... keep the lens directed at extremely bright

objects for long periods.
