CAUTIONS

(cont.)

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.

LCD Monitor

1. To prevent damage to the LCD monitor,

DO NOT . . .

.... push it strongly or apply any shocks.

.... place the camcorder with the LCD monitor on

the bottom.

2. To prolong service life . . .

.... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

3. Be aware of the following phenomena for LCD

monitor use.

These are not malfunctions:

• While using the camcorder, the surface around

the 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 becomes hot.

Main Unit

1. For safety, DO NOT . . .

.... open the camcorder’s chassis.

.... disassemble or modify the unit.

.... short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack.

Keep it away from metallic objects when not in

use.

.... allow inflammables, water or metallic objects

to enter the unit.

.... remove the battery pack or disconnect the

power supply while the power is on.

.... leave the battery pack attached when the

camcorder is not in use.

2. Avoid using the unit . . .

.... in places subject to excessive humidity 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 anten-

nas, 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 low

(below 35%) or extremely 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 become 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

objects for long periods.

.... expose the lens to direct sunlight.

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

viewfinder.

.... swing it excessively when using the shoulder

strap or the grip.

5. Dirty heads can cause the following problems:

•No picture during playback.

•Blocks of noise appear during playback.

•During recording, the Head Clog Warning

indicator “ ” appears.

In such cases, use an optional cleaning cassette.

Insert it and play back. If the cassette is used

more than once consecutively, damage to the

video heads may result. After the camcorder

plays back for about 20 seconds, it stops

automatically. Also refer to the cleaning cassette’s

instructions.

If, after using the cleaning cassette, the problems

still exist, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

Mechanical moving parts used to move the video

heads and video tape tend to become dirty and

worn out over time. In order to maintain a clear

picture at all times, periodic check-ups are

recommended after using the unit for about

1,000 hours. For periodic check-ups please

consult your nearest JVC dealer.
