different standard. However, live recording  
and LCD monitor viewfinder playback are  
possible anywhere.  
Use the JVC BN-V10U/ V12U/ V20U/ V400U  
battery packs and, to recharge them or to  
supply power to the camcorder 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.)  
WARNING:  
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD,  
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR  
MOISTURE.  
CAUTIONS  
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet  
or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient  
space at least 10 cm on all sides to allow  
ventilation.  
To avoid electrical 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.  
Do not block the ventilation holes.  
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.  
CAUTIONS

coming from the camcorder or AC adapter,  
shut it down and unplug it immediately.

adapter under these conditions could lead to  
fire or electric shock. Contact your JVC  
dealer. Do not attempt to repair the  
malfunction yourself.  
Prevent water or liquid from entering this  
equipment, keep it away from wet places.  
To prevent shock, do not open the cabinet.

When you are not using the AC Adapter for a  
long period of time, it is recommended that  
you disconnect the AC Adapter from AC  
outlet.
