CAUTIONS:

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

playback are possible anywhere.

●Use the JVC BN-V306U/V312U battery packs and, to recharge them or to supply power to the camcorder

from an AC outlet, use the provided multi-voltage AC Adapter and Power Cord. (An appropriate

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

countries.)

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.)

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 it on top of the TV is not

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