DANGER
The video light can become extremely
hot. Do not touch it either while in
operation or soon after turning it off,
otherwise serious injury may result.
Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case
immediately after using the video light, since it
remains extremely hot for some time.
When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
between the video light and people or objects.
Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.
It is recommended that you consult your nearest
JVC dealer for replacing the video light.

being operated correctly, the batteries are ex-
hausted. Replace them with fresh ones.

Please make note of the following rules for battery use.
When misused, the batteries can leak or explode.
1. When replacing batteries, refer to page 42.
2. Do not use any different size of batteries from those
specified.
3. Be sure to install batteries in the correct direction.
4. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
5. Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat as
they can leak or explode.
6. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
7. Remove the batteries from the unit if it is to be
stored for an extended period to avoid battery
leakage which can cause malfunctions.
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:
1. To avoid hazards . . .
.... do not burn.
.... do not short-circuit the terminals. 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 fire.
.... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... charge in an environment where temperatures
are within the tolerances shown in the chart
below. 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.
NOTES:
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
