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 adaptel; called a "Siemens
Plug", as shown.
For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest IVC
dealer.

INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 1S of FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation. Change or modifications
not approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has
been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 1S of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
use(] in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause ham]ful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encourage(] to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the
equipment and receivel:
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

radio/TV

Please make note of the following rules for battery use.
When misused, the battery can leak or explode.
1. Refer to the C-P6U/C-P7U
instructions when
replacing the battery.
2. Do not expose the battery to excessive heat as it can
leak or explode.
3. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
4. Remove the battery from the unit if it is to be stored
for an extended period to avoid battery leakage which
can cause malfunctions.

Battery Packs
The battery packs are nickel-cadmium
or nickel metal-hydride
batteries. Before
using the supplied battery pack or an
optional battery pack, be sure to read
the following cautions:
1, To avoid hazard,,,
.... do not burn.
.... do not short-circuit the terminals.
.... do not modify or disassemble.
.... use only specified chargers.

Termir al_

2, To prevent damage and prolong service life,,,
.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.
.... 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.
.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.
.... 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
chaq4in[4, or after use,

.... allow it to become wet.

Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read
the following cautions:
1. During use...
.... make sure the cassette bears the S-VHS-C or the
VHS-C 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.
2. Store cassettes...
.... away from heaters or other heat sources.
.... out of direct sunlight.
.... where they won't be subject to unnecessary shocl<
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.

.... near appliances generating strong magnetic or electric
fields (speakers, broadcasting antennas, etc.).
.... in places subject to extremely high (over 40°C or
104°F) or extremely 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
35%) or extremely high (above 80%).
.... in direct sunlight.
.... in a closed car in summer.
.... near a heatel:

About

moisture

condensation...

• You may have observed that pouring a cold liquid
into a glass will cause drops of water to form on
the glass' outer surface. This same phenomenon
occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it
is moved from a cool place to a warm place, after
heating a cold room, under extremely humid
conditions or in a place directly subjected to the
cool air from an air conditionen
• Moisture on the head drum can cause severe
damage to the video tape, and can lead to
internal damage to the camcorder itself.
