Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing this digital video camera. Before use, please read the safety information and

precautions contained in the following pages to ensure safe use of this product.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTIONS:

●To prevent shock, do not open the cabinet. No

user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to

qualified personnel.

●When you are not using the AC Adapter for a

long period of time, it is recommended that you

disconnect the power cord from AC outlet.

CAUTION:

To avoid electric shock or damage to the unit,

first firmly insert the small end of the power

cord into the AC Adapter until it is no longer

wobbly, and then plug the larger end of the

power cord into an AC outlet.

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides

to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).

Do not block the ventilation holes.

(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws

governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water.

Also do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases,

potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit.

(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

CAUTIONS:

●This camcorder is designed to be used with PAL-type colour television signals. It cannot be used for

playback with a television of a different standard. However, live recording and LCD monitor/viewfinder

playback are possible anywhere.

●

Use the JVC BN-V408U/V416U/V428U battery packs and, to recharge them or to supply power to the

camcorder from anAC outlet, use the provided multi-voltageACAdapter and Power Cord. (An appropriate

conversion adapter may be necessary to accommodate different designs of AC outlets in different countries.)

Do not point the lens or the viewfinder directly into the sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead to the

malfunctioning of internal circuitry. There is also a risk of fire or electric shock.

CAUTION!

The following notes concern possible physical damage to the camcorder and to the user.

When carrying, be sure to always securely attach and use the provided shoulder strap. Carrying or holding the

camcorder by the viewfinder and/or the LCD monitor can result in dropping the unit, or in a malfunction.

Take care not to get your finger caught in the cassette holder cover. Do not let children operate the camcorder, as

they are particularly susceptible to this type of injury.

Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious damage to the camcorder.

CAUTION!

Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to the camcorder and leaving the unit on top of the TV is not

recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camcorder to fall, resulting in damage.

䡲This camcorder is designed exclusively for the digital video cassette. Only cassettes marked

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart,

or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may

cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals

to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a

short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large

power capacity. However, when one is exposed to

cold temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time

becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this

happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or

other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-

attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack

itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.

(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery

pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
