CAUTIONS

Video Light

DANGER

The video light can become 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 for some time.

When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
between the video light and people or objects.

Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.

Do not place the camcorder in a cabinet or box
while the video light is in operation.

When using the video light, if you wish to install the
camcorder in a fixed position, attach it to a tripod,
etc. Do not affix it directly to a surface such as a
table top.

It is recommended that you consult your nearest
JVC dealer for replacing the video light.

General Battery Precautions

If the remote control is not functioning even if it is
being operated correctly, the batteries are exhausted.
Replace them with fresh ones.

Use only the following batteries: AAA (R03) size x 2
Please make note of the following rules for battery
use. When misused, the batteries can leak or
explode.

1. When replacing batteries, refer to page 54.
2. Do not use any different size of batteries from

those specified.

3. Be sure to install batteries in the correct direction.
4. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
5. Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat as

they can leak or explode.

6. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
7. Remove the batteries from the unit if it is to be

stored for an extended period to avoid battery

leakage which can cause malfunctions.

8. Do not recharge the provided batteries.

Battery Packs

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:

1. To avoid hazards . . .

... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the terminals. 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.

2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge in an environment where temperatures

are within the tolerances shown in the chart
below. 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.

NOTES:

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
Temperature Range Specifications
Charging ................ 10°C to 35°C
Operation ............... 0°C to 40°C
Storage .................. –10°C to 30°C

Recharging time is based on room temperature of
20°C.

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to
read the following cautions:

1. During use . . .

... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV 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.

... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes

the tape to fingerprints and dust.
