high speed recording is  
grainy and there is no  
sound.  
If there are many files (such as video) in the SD card, it takes  
time for the camera to respond. It is recommended that you copy  
all files from the SD card onto your computer, and erase the files  
from the SD card.  
The camera operates  
slowly when switching  
between video mode  
and still image mode,  
or when switching the  
power on or off.  
Push the SD card in a few more times.  
The SD card cannot  
be removed from the  
camera.  
Check the remaining battery pack charge.  
(When the battery pack is fully charged, the lamp does not flash.)  
When recharging in either a hot or cold environment, ensure that  
battery is being charged within the permitted temperature range.  
(If the battery pack is being recharged outside the permitted  
temperature range, recharging may stop to protect the battery  
pack.)  
The lamp does not flash  
during battery pack  
charging.

Cautions  
ATTENTION:  
AC Adapter  
The product you have purchased is  
powered by a rechargeable battery  
that is recyclable.  
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for  
information on how to recycle this  
battery.  
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.  
Recording Medium (SD Card)  
Be sure to follow the guidelines below  
to prevent corruption or damage to your  
recorded data.  
For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest  
JVC dealer.  
Plug Adapter  
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.  
Battery Pack  
Do not turn off the camera power or remove  
the battery or AC adapter during shooting,  
playback, or when otherwise accessing the  
recording medium.  
The supplied battery pack is a Terminals  
lithium-ion battery. Before using  
the supplied battery pack or an  
optional battery pack, be sure  
Do not bring the recording medium near  
objects that have a strong magnetic field or  
that emit strong electromagnetic waves.  
to read the following cautions:  
Do not store the recording medium in  
locations with high temperature or high  
humidity.  
To avoid hazards  
... do not burn.  
Do not touch the metal parts.  
... 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 (140°F), as this may cause the  
battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.  
... use only specified chargers.  
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 damage and prolong service life  
Main Unit  
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.  
... charge within the temperature range of 10°C  
to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Cooler temperatures  
require longer charging time, or in some cases  
stop charging at all.  
For safety, DO NOT  
... open the camera’s chassis.  
... 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.  
Warmer temperatures prevent complete  
charging, or in some cases stop charging at all.  
... 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 of time.  
... remove from charger or powered unit when not  
in use, as some machines use current even  
when switched off.
