WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK

HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

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:

●If you notice smoke or a peculiar smell coming from

the camcorder or AC Adapter, shut it down and

unplug it immediately. Continue using the

camcorder or AC Adapter under these conditions

could lead to fire or electric shock. Contact your

JVC dealer. Do not attempt to repair the malfunction

yourself.

●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-voltageAC Adapter and Power Cord. (An appropriate

conversion adapter may be necessary to accommodate different designs ofAC 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.

nThis camcorder is designed exclusively for the digital video cassette, SD Memory Card and

MultiMediaCard. Only cassettes marked “ ” and memory cards* marked “ ” or

“” can be used with this unit.

Before recording an important scene . . .

.... make sure you only use cassettes with the Mini DV mark .
