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.
About moisture condensation . . .
• You may have observed that pouring a cold liquid into a
glass will cause drops of water to form on the glass' outer
surface. This same phenomenon occurs on the head drum
of a camcorder when it is moved from a cool place to a
warm place, after heating a cold room, under extremely
humid conditions or in a place directly subjected to the cool
air from an air conditioner.
• Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to
the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the
camcorder itself.
Serious malfunctioning
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and
consult your local JVC dealer.
