SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing this hard disk camera.
Before use, please read the safety information
and precautions contained in the pages 4 – 6 to
ensure safe use of this product.
IMPORTANT (for owners in the U.K.)
Connection to the mains supply in the United
Kingdom.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment.
If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points
in your home or the cable is too short to reach a
power point, then obtain an appropriate safety
approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
BE SURE to replace the fuse only with an
identical approved type, as originally fitted,
and to replace the fuse cover.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off be sure to
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid possible shock hazard by
inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains
plug then follow the instructions given below:
DO NOT make any connection to the Larger
Terminal coded E or Green.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
If these colours do not correspond with the
terminal identifications of your plug, connect as
follows:
Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or
coloured black.
Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured
Red.
If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTIONS:
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.
Blue to N (Neutral)
or Black
Brown to L (Live)
or Red
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.
CAUTIONS:
This camera 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 playback are possible anywhere.
Use the JVC BN-VF707U battery pack and, to
recharge it or to supply power to the camera
from an AC outlet, use the provided multi-
voltage AC adapter. (An appropriate
conversion adapter may be necessary to
accommodate different designs of AC outlets in
different countries.)
NOTES:
The rating plate and safety caution are on the
bottom and/or the back of the main unit.
The serial number plate is on the battery pack
mount.
The rating information and safety caution of the
AC adapter are on its upper and lower sides.
Do not point the lens 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 camera and to the user.
Carrying or holding the camera by the LCD
monitor can result in dropping the unit, or in a
malfunction.
Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel
surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious
damage to the camera.
CAUTION!
Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to
the camera and leaving it on top of the TV is not
recommended, as tripping on the cables will
cause the camera to fall, resulting in damage.
