Batteries
•This camera requires 4 LR6 (AA)-size alkaline
batteries. LR6 (AA)-size nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd)
or nickel-metal hydrode (Ni-MH) batteries can
also be used. Note that the battery power
remaining indicated by the camera does not take
the type of batteries being used into account.
•Do not use manganese batteries as they do not
have sufficient energy to power this camera.
•Use the batteries properly. The wrong use can
cause them to leak, or become hot or damaged.
When replacing the batteries, insert them with
their (+) and (–) polarity marks properly aligned, as
indicated by the orientation marking inside the
battery cover.
•When the batteries become cold in cooler
temperatures (below 10 °C), such as outdoors in
winter, their lifetime shortens and they may cease
to function. If this happens, place the batteries in
your pocket or other warm, protected place for a
short time, then re-insert them in the camera. We
recommend using LR6 (AA)-size nickel-cadmium
batteries as they can power the camera even at
0°C.
•If the (+) and (–) polarity marks are dirty with
sweat or oil, this will cause contact failure. Wipe
them off with a dry cloth, then use the batteries.
•Keep new batteries handy if you plan to use the
camera for an extended period of time (for travel,
etc.).
•Before using Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries, be sure to
charge them fully using their designated battery
charger.
•Since batteries become hot after they are ex-
hausted, be careful when replacing them with
new ones.
•If the batteries are not used for an extended
period, remove them from the camera to avoid
battery leakage, which can cause malfunctions to
occur.
•Do not use different kinds of batteries or old and
new batteries together.
•Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat, as it
may cause them to leak or explode.
•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
•Do not shortcircuit the terminals. Keep them away
from metallic objects when not in use.
AC Power Adapter (Optional)
1. To prevent fire, electric shock or injury...
.... DO NOT use the AC power adapter with any
power source or voltage not supported.
.... DO NOT modify or disassemble the AC
power adapter. Never attempt to repair or
check it yourself, as this is very dangerous.
Consult your nearest JVC dealer for mainte-
nance on the AC power adapter.
.... DO NOT connect any power cord other than
the one provided to the AC power adapter. If
the power cord's performance or design is
different, fire or electric shock may result.
.... first connect the power cord to the AC power
adapter. If the power cord is connected first
to an AC outlet, and the AC power adapter's
connector comes in contact with a metallic
object, a short-circuit will occur which may
result in fire or injury.
2. To prevent fire, malfunction or electric
shock...
.... DO NOT use any AC power adapter except
the one specified with this digital still
camera. If the AC adapter's performance or
design is different than what the digital
camera is designed for, fire, malfunction or
electric shocks may result. Before using,
thoroughly read the instructions of the digital
still camera and the AC power adapter.
3. To avoid malfunction...
.... connect the power cord to the AC power
adapter securely. If the power cord is
disconnected during use of the camera,
shooting or playback may become impossi-
ble and the image data may become corrupt.
