The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device.
External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In
such cases, Ţrst disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Adapter, etc.); and then re-
connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.
WARNING INDICATIONS:

power comes close to nil, the battery indicator blinks (battery power warning). When the battery power
is exhausted, power turns off automatically.
: Blinks when no cassette is loaded, or when the erase protection tab is not in the position that allows
recording.
TAPE END: Appears when the tape ends during recording, playback or fast-forwarding.
LENS CAP: Appears for 5 seconds after power is turned on if the lens cap is attached.
CONDENSATION OPERATION PAUSED PLEASE WAIT: These 2 warnings appear alternately every 3
seconds if condensation occurs. In this case, all functions except tape eject and power on/off are disabled.
Remove the tape, turn the unit off (without removing the power supply), wait a few minutes for the warnings to
clear, and turn it on again.
HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED USE CLEANING CASSETTE: These 2 warnings appear alternately
every 3 seconds if dirt is detected on the heads during recording. In this case, use an optional cleaning
cassette. If the warning remains after cleaning, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

N E06) show what type of malfunction has occured. If an error indication and warning appear, turn the unit off,
remove the power supply (battery, etc.) and wait a few minutes for them to clear. When it does, you can
resume using the camcorder. If the indication remains, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
