Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.   DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equip-   ment.   DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.   DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is   damanged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.   DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.   DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed   for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and   make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for   infirm or handicapped people.   DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements   of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.   DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.   DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating   will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.   DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit   the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.   DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.   ABOVE ALL   — NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case   — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;   — NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

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.   •The video light becomes extremely hot. Do not   touch it either while in operation or soon after   turning it off, otherwise serious injury may result.   •Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case   immediately after using the video light, since it   remains extremely hot.   •When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm   between the video light and people or object.   •Do not us e near flammable or explosive   materials.   .... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.   .... remove from charger or powered unit when   not in use, as some machines use current   even when switched off.   Serious malfunctioning   3. To prevent damage to the camcorder . . .   .... replace the battery pack when it begins to   deliver less recording time per charge.   If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit   immediately and consult your local JVC   NOTE:   It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after   charging, or after use.   General Battery Precautions   Temperature Ranges   •When the C-P6U or C-P7U (cassette adapter) is   not functioning even when correctly operated, the   batteries are exhausted. Replace them with fresh   ones.   Charging ................................... 10°C to 35°C   Operation ................................. 0°C to 40°C   Storage...................................... –10°C to 30°C   •Use only the following battery:   C-P6U or C-P7U ............................ R6(AA) size   Please make note of the following rules for battery   use. When misused, batteries can leak or explode.   NOTES:   ● Recharging time is based on room temperature of   20°C.   ● The lower the temperature, the longer recharging   takes.   1. Refer to the C-P6U/C-P7U instructions when   replacing the battery.   2. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat as they   can leak or explode.   3. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.   4. Remove battery from the unit if it is to be stored   for an extended period to avoid battery leakage   which can cause malfunctions.   Cassettes   To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to   read the following cautions:   1. During use . . .   .... make sure the cassette bears the VHS-C   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.   Battery Packs   The supplied battery pack is a   nickel-cadmium battery. Before   using the supplied battery pack or   an optional battery pack, be sure to   read the following cautions:   1. To avoid hazard . . .   .... do not open the front tape cover. This   exposes the tape to fingerprints and dust.   .... do not burn.   Terminals   .... do not short-circuit the terminals.   .... do not modify or disassemble.   .... use only specified chargers.   2. Store cassettes . . .   .... away from heaters or other heat sources.   .... out of direct sunlight.   2. To prevent damage and prolong service   life . . .   .... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary   shock or vibration.   .... where they won’t be exposed to strong   magnetic fields (such as those generated by   motors, transformers or magnets).   .... vertically, in their original cases.   .... do not subject to unnecessary shock.   .... avoid repeated charging without fully   discharging.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Always allow enough time for your camcorder to   acclimatize to its environment before using it.   2. Do not use the unit in areas of high humidity.   (Typical areas of high humidity are given below.)   •From being used or stored in a very cold outdoor   situation, then immediately being used in a warm   indoor situation.   ..... 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   camcorder is not in use.   2. Avoid using the unit . . .   •From being used or stored in a cool air-conditioned   situation, then being used in a high-humidity   outdoor situation.   •Other areas where rapid large temperature changes   can occur.   3. Taking care of your “C” format video cassette tapes..   •Store the video cassette tapes in a vertical position,   complete in their cassette cases.   •During transportation, always store cassettes in   their cassette cases.   4. Check recorded information at regular intervals. If   the camcorder is equipped with a quick review   facility, use this facility to check whether the picture   is clear or not.   If the quick review or playback picture is not clear,   then the video heads may be dirty.   ..... 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.   3. 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.   Note:   As a maladjusted tracking control can give similar   symptoms to dirty video heads, please check that the   tracking control of the unit is in the centre position.   4. 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.   Cleaning the video heads   Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video   heads may cause the playback picture to become   blurred or interrupted. Although this camcorder is   equipped with a built-in head cleaner which   ..... keep the lens directed at extremely bright   objects for long periods.   ..... direct the eyepiece of the viewfinder at the sun.   ..... carry it by holding the viewfinder.   ..... swing it excessively when using the shoulder   strap.   automatically cleans the heads, reducing the likelihood   of dirty heads, if such troubles are encountered, we   recommend the use of the cleaning cassette specifically   designed for JVC camcorders, model number TCC-2U.   Please use the cleaning cassette as indicated below:   5. This camcorder features a built-in head cleaner   which automatically cleans the heads and head   drum when a cassette is loaded or unloaded. If,   however, the heads become dirty and cause   blurriness or interruption in the playback   picture, consult your nearest JVC dealer.   1 After inserting the cleaning cassette, activate the   Play mode for a maximum of 15 seconds (normally,   5 seconds is sufficient).   2 Remove the cleaning cassette and check the   playback picture with a previously good-recorded   tape.   3 If the picture is clear, then recording on a new tape   About moisture condensation . . .   can begin when desired.   • You 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.   4 If the picture is not clear, repeat steps 1 to 3 up to   two more times.   5 If the picture is still unclear, consult your local JVC   dealer.   Important Note:   If heads have become dirty, the associated tape will   also be damaged, please do not use the tape again.   * A built-in head cleaner automatically cleans the   video heads and head drum whenever a cassette is   loaded and unloaded to reduce head clogging.   * Cleaning cassette TCC-2U is available from your JVC   local dealer.   • Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage   to the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to   the camcorder itself.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
