 AC Adapter
When using the AC adapter in areas other 
than the USA
The provided AC adapter 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.
 Battery Packs
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:
Terminals
• 
To avoid hazards
... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away 
from metallic objects when not in use. 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, as this may cause the battery 
to overheat, explode or catch fi re.
... use only specifi ed chargers.
• 
To prevent damage and prolong service life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge within the temperature range of 10°C 
to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). 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.
  Recording Medium
• 
Be sure to follow the guidelines below 
to prevent corruption or damage to your 
recorded data.
 Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or 
subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.
 Do not splash the recording medium with water.
 Do not use, replace, or store the recording 
medium in locations that are exposed to strong 
static electricity or electrical noise.
 Do not turn off the camera power or remove 
the battery or AC adapter during shooting, 
playback, or when otherwise accessing the 
recording medium.
 Do not bring the recording medium near objects 
that have a strong magnetic fi eld or that emit 
strong electromagnetic waves.
 Do not store the recording medium in locations 
with high temperature or high humidity.
• 
Do not touch the metal parts.
• 
When formatting or erasing data using the 
camera, only the fi le administration information 
is changed. The data is not completely erased 
from the hard disk. If you want to completely 
erase all of the data, we recommend either 
using commercially available software that 
is specially designed for that purpose, or 
by physically destroying the camera with a 
hammer etc.
 LCD Monitor
• 
To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO 
NOT
... push it strongly or apply any shocks.
... place the camera with LCD monitor on the 
bottom.

To prolong service life
... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.
Main Unit

... open the camera’s chassis.
... disassemble or modify the unit.
... allow infl ammables, water or metallic objects 
to enter the unit.
... remove the battery pack or disconnect the 
power supply while the power is on.
