Back Up High-Deﬁnition Images

on DVD Discs!

Video can easily be backed up on a DVD disc by connecting to

a separate DVD burner (CU-VD40).

This DVD disc can then be played in the camera or a PC, but

not in a DVD player.

•

If a CU-VD40 is used, the DVD burner can be connected

directly to a television so the disc can be played without using

the camera.

•

Edit High-Deﬁnition Images on a

PC!

Perform advanced editing on high-deﬁnition images by loading to

a PC.

Cautions

... fully charge and then fully discharge the

battery every 6 months when storing the

battery pack over a long period of time.

... remove from charger or powered unit when

not in use, as some machines use current

even when switched off.

AC Adapter

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

JVC dealer.

Recording Medium

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.

•

Plug Adapter

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.

Battery Packs

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.

•

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:

Terminals

•

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.

•

To avoid hazards

... 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.

Hard disk

... do not modify or disassemble.

Do not use the unit where it is subject to

vibrations or loud sounds.

If you move the unit suddenly, the drop

detection function may operate and the power

may be turned off.

•

... 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.

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.

LCD Monitor

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 the unit from dropping,

•

Main Unit

Attach the shoulder strap securely and fasten

•

the grip belt securely.

For safety, DO NOT

... open the camera’s chassis.

•

When using the camera with a tripod, attach the

camera to the tripod securely.

•

... disassemble or modify the unit.

... allow inﬂammables, water or metallic objects

to enter the unit.

... remove the battery pack or disconnect the

power supply while the power is on.

... leave the battery pack attached when the

camera is not in use.

... place naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted

candles, on the apparatus.

... expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.

... leave dust or metal objects adhered to the

power plug or an AC wall outlet.

... 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.).

If the camera drops, you may be injured and

the camera may be damaged.

When a child uses the unit, there must be

parental guidance.

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

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.

... 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

•

... 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.

... expose the lens to direct sunlight.
