Cautions on Using Underwater
Please take note of the followings when using this unit near water or
underwater.
0Ensure that the cover is closed tightly.
“Opening the Terminal Cover (SD Card Cover)” (A p. 4)
0Ensure that the terminal cover and the gray waterproof seal are not
damaged and that there are no foreign materials (such as hair, lint, sand
or dust) adhered on the cover.
0Stop using the unit underwater if there are damages to the cover, etc.
and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest service center.
0Use within a water depth of 5 m (16.4 ft) and a duration of 30 minutes.
.
Within Duration
of 30 Minutes
Within Water
Depth of 5 m
0Do not open/close the cover or insert/remove an SD card or any cables
while using underwater or on the beach, or if your hands contain water
droplets or sands. Doing so may cause water to enter into the camera or
malfunction.
0Do not subject the camera to high pressure or vibration resulted from swift
current, waterfall or diving into water.
0The waterproof performance is not guaranteed if the camera is dropped
or subjected to other impact shock. If the camera has been subjected to
impact shock, consult your nearest service center.
0While shooting underwater, noise generated inside of the camera
(zooming sounds, etc) may be picked up. This is not a malfunction.
0Do not immerse into hot spring, or hot water above 40°C (104°F). Doing
so deteriorates waterproof performance.
0Keep away from hands with sun oil or sun screen. Doing so may cause
discoloration or deterioration of material.
0The accessories are not waterproof.
0Do not use the lens filter or conversion lens underwater or at locations
where there is water.

Maintenance after Use
After using underwater or in dusty places, rinse the camera with water
immediately and dry it completely.
1Ensure that the terminal cover is closed.
2Rinse with clean water.
Soak the camera in a container filled with enough water to immerse the
camera completely, and rinse it gently.
.
0After using the camera under the sea or on the beach, immerse the
camera in fresh water for about 10 minutes to remove salt particles,
replace the water and rinse the camera.
0Open and close the LCD screen, and operate the buttons or zoom
operations to get rid of sands or dusts in the gap.
3Dry the camera.
Wipe the camera completely with a soft dry cloth and allow it to dry in a
well-ventilated and shady location.
0Place the camera with the lens facing downward while the LCD
monitor is closed, and leave it for approximately 10 minutes. (By doing
so, microphone and LDC part are dried out easily.) Place the camera
in a up right position on a dry cloth afterward Close the terminal cover
after the camera is dried out completely.
0Wipe off any foreign materials or water droplets inside the cover.
* If you leave the camera immersed in salt water or allow water droplets from
the salt water to remain on the camera, this may cause corrosion,
discoloration or deterioration of waterproof performance.
* If you wipe or dry the camera with sand particles adhered, this may cause
scratches on the camera.
* Do not wash with chemicals, soap, neutral detergents, or alcohol.
* Do not dry the camera with a hair dryer or other heat sources. This could
impair its waterproof performance.
Cautions on Using under Low Temperature
0The performance of the battery will drop temporarily when the temperature
is -10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), this will cause the remaining recording time
to shorten.
0Charging cannot be performed when the surrounding temperature is
below 10°C (50°F).
0Turning on the camera while it is still cold will deteriorate the performance
of the LCD monitor. Problems such as the screen becoming dark
momentarily or residual image can occur.
0If snow or water droplets adhere to the camera under sub-zero
temperature environment, ice can formed between the gaps around the
buttons, speaker or microphone. This will cause difficulty in operating the
buttons as well as decrease in the volume level.
0Direct contact with exposed metal part under cold temperature can cause
the skin to stick on the metal part resulting in injuries such as frostbite. Do
not touch with bare hands.
Other Precautions
0Do not leave the camera under low temperature in cold climates or under
high temperature above 40 °C (such as under direct sunlight, inside a
vehicle in the hot sun, or near a heater). This will cause deterioration of
the waterproof performance.
0Malfunction due to mishandling will void the warranty.
0We are not responsible for any loss of data due to water entering into inside
of the camera. Please be forewarned.
0It is recommended to replace the waterproof packing once a year to
maintain the waterproof performance. Consult your nearest service
center. (Subject to a fee)

Resetting this Unit
This unit is a microcomputer-controlled device. Electrostatic discharge,
external noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from
functioning properly. In that case, perform the steps below to reset this unit.
(The recorded data will not be erased.)
“Resetting this Unit” (A p. 5)

Charging
Unable to charge the battery.
When the battery pack is fully charged, the lamp does not light up.
Be sure to charge using the supplied AC adapter. Malfunction in the unit that
occurred due to the use of an AC adapter other than the one provided is not
included in the warranty.
Check the connection, then disconnect and reconnect the charging adapter
cable.
Charging cannot be performed under low or high temperature environments.
Charge under the room temperature range of 10°C to 35°C. (Under
environments beyond the temperature range, charging may stop to protect
the battery pack.)
Using a non-original AC adapter may result in damage to this unit. Be sure
to use an original AC adapter.
The remaining battery display is not correct.
If this unit is used for long periods of time in high or low temperatures, or if
the battery pack is repeatedly charged, the amount of remaining battery may
not be displayed correctly.
The battery runs out quickly even after charging.
Be sure to charge using the supplied AC adapter. Malfunction in the unit that
occurred due to the use of an AC adapter other than the one provided is not
included in the warranty.
The performance of the battery will drop temporarily when the temperature
is -10°C to 0°C, this will cause the remaining recording time to shorten.
When the recording time becomes extremely short even when the battery is
fully charged, the battery needs to be replaced. For details on replacing the
built-in battery (subject to a fee), consult the nearest JVC service center.

The inside of the lens is foggy.
Open the terminal cover; close the LCD monitor and leave as is for a while
to reduce the temperature.
Preventing fogging inside the lens
0Models with waterproof function are airtight. When the temperature rises
during recording, condensation can occur inside the lens due to the
internal humidity.
oDuring recording
To prevent the temperature of this unit from rising, we recommend that you
use the unit in the following ways.
AAvoid frequent exposure to direct sunlight.
Record under the shade or use an umbrella. Best if you could keep a
wet towel cover the unit.
BThe use of a tripod is recommended.
Long hours of recording while holding the unit in your hands will cause
the temperature of the unit to rise.
CIt is better to leave the terminal cover open while recording.
However, the waterproof, dust-proof and shockproof features do not
function in this condition. Do take note of the environment when using
the camera. (Do not use a wet towel.)
DMake sure to turn off the power when you are not recording.
When the LCD monitor is closed, the unit turns off.
oDuring charging
It is recommended to charge the unit in a low humidity environment.
The moist air inside the unit can cause condensation.
We recommend that you charge the unit in a room where humidifier is not in
use, and in an air-conditioned room during summer.
