Make a backup of important recorded data
JVC will not be responsible for any lost data. It is recommended to copy your important
recorded data to a DVD or other recording media for storage. (Z p. 41)
Make a trial recording
Before the actual recording of important data, make a trial recording and play back the
recorded data to check that the video and sound have been recorded correctly. We
recommend you to use the same recording media when performing both the trial recording
and the actual recording.
Reset the camcorder if it does not operate correctly
Close the LCD monitor and remove the power supply (battery pack or AC adapter) from
the camcorder, then reattach it.

Cautions
ATTENTION:
The battery you

have purchased 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.
For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest
JVC dealer.
Recording Medium (SD Card)
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.
•
•
Battery Pack
Do not turn off the camcorder power or remove
•
the battery or AC adapter during shooting,
playback, or when otherwise accessing the
recording medium.
Do not bring the recording medium near objects
that have a strong magnetic field or that emit
strong electromagnetic waves.
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:
•
Do not store the recording medium in locations
with high temperature or high humidity.
•
Do not touch the metal parts.
•
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.
... 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 camcorder with LCD monitor on the

To prevent damage and prolong service life
•
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge within the temperature range of 10°C

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
