CAUTIONS When using the AC Power Adapter/Charger in areas other than the USA Ⅲ The provided AC Power Adapter/Charger features automatic voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V. 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 adapter, called a "Siemens Plug", as shown. For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest JVC dealer. Plug adapter Video Light DANGER Ⅲ The video light can become extremely hot. Do not touch it either while in operation or soon after turning it off, otherwise serious injury may result. Ⅲ Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case immediately after using the video light, since it remains extremely hot for some time. Ⅲ When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm (11-13/16") between the video light and people or objects. Ⅲ Do not use near flammable or explosive materials. Ⅲ It is recommended that you consult your nearest JVC dealer for replacing the video light. Battery Packs Terminals Battery cap The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion 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. When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag. .... do not modify or disassemble. .... do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire. .... use only specified chargers. EN55 2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . . .... do not subject to unnecessary shock. .... 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. .... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time. .... 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 charging, or after use. Temperature Range Specifications Charging 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) Operation 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) Storage 10°C to 30°C (-14°F to 86°F) ● Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C (68°F). ● The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes. Cassettes To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions: 1. During use . . . .... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV 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 magnetic fields (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets). .... vertically, in their original cases.
