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 (11-13/16") 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. |
