Since tile camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device, external noise and interference (from a TV, a
radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. For example, when a still image you shot is stored
in the carncorder's builtqn memory, the above may cause the following: Although the remaining number
of shots indicator shows that shooting is possible, a still image cannot be stored in memory after shooting.
In such a case, initialize the memory by following steps I through 3 below. Please note that initialization
deletes all the still images (including ones for which you performed the "Protect" function) stored in the
camcorder's memory. If you wish to keep any of the still images that are stored in memory, before
initialization first transfer them to a PC and save them. If image data is corrupt, transfer is impossible.
1. Set the Power Switch to "ITI/_". If the DSC Lamp is not lit, press REFRESH

When using the AC Adapter in areas other than theUSA
• The provided AC Adapter features automatic voltageselection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.
USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG ADAPTER
In case of connecting the unit's AC Adapter to an ACwall outlet other than American National Standard C73
series type use an AC plug adapter, called a "SiemensPlug", as shown.For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest IVCdealer.
Plug adapter--_
Video LightDANGER:
• The video light becomes extremely hot. Do not touch
it either while in operation or soon after turning it off,otherwise serious in ury may reselt.
• Do not p ace the camcorder into the carrying caseimmediately after using the video light, since itremains extremely hot for some time.
• When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cnl(11-1 3/16" ft.) between the video light and people orobject.
• Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.• It is recommended that you consult your nearest JVC
dealer for replacing the video light.
General Battery PrecautionsIf the remote control or cassette adapter is not function-
in,even if it is being operated correctly, the batteries areexhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.
Use only the following batteries:Remote control .................... AAA (R03) size x 2(RM-V715U)
Cassette adapter .................. AA (R6) size x 1(C-P6U or C-P7U)
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 50 for theremote control, or read the cassette adapter(C-P6U/C-P7U) instructions.
2. Do not use any different size of batteries from thosespecified.
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 theycan 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 aw_id battery leakage whichcan cause malfunctions.
Battery PacksThe battery packs are nickel-_ admiumor nickel metal-hydride batteries. Before
using the supplied battery pack or anoptional battery pack, be sure to read
the following cautions:
1. To avoid hazard....... do not burn..... do not short-circuit the terminals.
.... do not nlodify or disassemble. Terminals
.... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong servicelife...
.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.
.... charge in an environment where temperatures arewithin the tolerances shown in the chart below.
This is a chemical reaction type battery---coolertemperatures impede chenlical reaction, whilewam/er temperatures can prevent completecharging.
.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure tohigh temperatures will increase natural dischargeand shorten service life.
.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.
.... remove from charger or powered unit when not inuse, as some machines use current even whenswitched off.
NOTES:
• It is normal forthe batterypack to be warm aftercharging, or after use.Temperature Range SpecificationsCharging ................ 10°C to 3_°C (_O°F to 95°F)Operation .............. O°C to 40°C L_2°F to 104°F)Storage .................. -10%" to 30%7 (14 °F to 86°F)
• Rechar2ing time is based on room temperature of 20°C(68°£)
• Tile lower tile temlJerature, tile longer rechargingtakes.
Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be st.Jreto readthe following cautions:
1. During use....... make sure the cassette bears the S-VHS-C or
VHS-C mark.
.... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapesautomatically 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.
2. Store cassettes...
... away from heaters or other heat sources.
... out of direct sunlight.
... where they won't be subject to unnecessaryshocl< 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.
Main Unit
I. For safety, DO NOT....... open the camcorder's chassis..... disassenlble or nlodify the unit..... short-circuit the temlinals of the batiery pack. Keep it
away from metallic objects when not in use..... allow inflammables, water or metallic objects to
enter the unit.
.... remove the battery pack or disconnect the powersupply while the power is on.
.... leave the battery pack attached when thecamcorder is not in use.
2. Avoid using the unit....... 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 electricfields (speakers, broadcasting antennas, etc.).
.... in places subject to extremely high (over 40°C or104°F) or extrenlely low (under 0°C or 32°F)temperatures.
3. DO NOT leave the unit...
.... in places of over 50°C (122°F).
.... in places where humidity is extremely low (below35%) or extremely high (above 80%).
.... in direct sunlight.
.... in a closed car in summer.
.... near a heater.
.... in dusty places such as a beach.
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 duringtransportation.
.... keep the lens directed at extremely bright objectsfor long periods.
.... direct the eyepiece of the viewfinder at the sun.
.... carry it by holding the viewfinder or the LCDmonitor. Be sure to hold the main unit with both
hands or use the grip..... swing it excessively when using the shoulder
strap.
EN67
LCD Monitor
1. To prevent damage to the LCD monitor,DO NOT...
.... push it strongly or apply any shocks.place the camcorder with the LCD monitor on thebottom.
2. To prolong service life....... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.
3. Be aware of the following phenomena for LCDmonitor use. These are not malfunctions:
• While using the camcorder, the surface around theLCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor mayheat up.
• If you leave power on for a long time, the surfacearound the LCD monitor becomes hot.
How To Handle a CD-ROM• Take care not to soil or scratch the nlirror surface
(opposite to the printed surface). Do not write
anything or put a sticker on either the front or back
surface. If the CD-ROM _ets dirty, gently wipe it with asoft cloth outward from tile center hole using a circularmotion.
• Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaningspray.
• Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror surface.
• Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or humid
environnlent. Keep it away from direct sunlight.
About moisture condensation...
• Y_aurnay have observer] that pouring a cold liquidinto a glass will cause drops of water to form onthe glass' outer surface. This same phenomenonoccurs on the head drunl of a canlcorder when it
is moved from a cool place to a warm place, afterheating a cold room, under extremely humidconditions or in a place directly subjected to thecool air from an air conditioner.
• Moisture on the head drum can cause severe
damage to the video tape, and can lead tointernal damage to the camcorder itself.
Serious malfunctioning
If nlalfunctioning occurs, stop using the unitimmediately and consult your local IVC dealer.
