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.

recording.

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.

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.
