General Battery Precautions

• When the C-P6U or C-P7U (cassette adapter) is not

functioning even when correctly operated, the battery

is exhausted. Replace it with fresh one.

• Use only the following batteries:

C-P6U or C-P7U ........................ AA (R6) size

Please make note of the following rules for battery use.

When misused, 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 battery in a fire.

4. Remove 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 supplied battery pack is a

nickel-cadmium battery. 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. Termil

..... do not modify or disassemble.

..... use only specified chargers.

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

..... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

..... avoid repeated charging without fully discharg-

ing.

..... charge in an environment where

tenlperatures 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.

3. To prevent damage to the camcorder...

..... replace the battery pack when it begins to

deliver less recording time per charge.

NOTE:

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

NOTES:

•Recharging time is based on r_om temperature of

20°C.

• The lower the temperature, the longer recharging

takes.

Cassefles

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read

the following cautions:

1. During use...

..... make sure the cassette bears 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

shock or vibration.

..... where they won't be exposed to strong nlagnetic

fields (such as those generated by motors,

transforrners or nlagnets).

..... vertically, in their original cases.

Main Unit

1. For safety, DO NOT...

..... open the camcorder's chassis.

..... disassemble or modify the unit.

enter the unit.

..... remove the battery pack or disconnect the

power supply while the power is on.

..... leave the battery pack attached when the

carncorder is not in use.

2. Avoid using the unit...

..... in places subject to excessive hunlidity 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

electric fields (speakers, broadcasting antennas,

etc.).

..... in places sub ect to extremely high (over 40°C

or 104°F) or extreme y ow (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

(beklw 35%) or extrernely high (above 80%).

..... in direct sunlight.

..... in a closed car in summer.

..... near a heater.

4. To protect the unit, DO NOT...

..... allow it to becorne wet.

..... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.

..... subject it to shock or excessive vibration during

transportation.

..... keep the lens directed at extremely bright

ob ects for long periods.

..... (irect tie eyepiece of tie viewfinder at tie sun.

..... carry it by holding the viewfinder or the LCD

monitor. Be sure to hold the main unit with both

hands or use the grip.

..... swing it excessively when using the shoulder

strap.

5. This camcorder features a built-in head cleaner

which automatically cleans the heads and head

drum when a cassette is loaded or unloaded. If,

however, the heads become dirty and cause

blurriness or interruption in the playback

picture, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor

may heat up.

• If you leave power on for a long time, the surface

around the LCD monitor beconles hot.

About moisture condensation...

• You have observed that pouring a cold liquid

into a glass will cause drops of water to fore/on

the glass' outer surface. This same phenomenon

occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it

is nloved 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 conditioner.

• Moisture on the head drurn can cause severe

damage to the video tape, and can lead to

internal damage to the camcorder itself.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unitinmlediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
