CAUTIONS
ABOUT THERMAL HEADS
· The thermal heads, necessary for printing, are located
within the unit. The heads can become extremely
warm. To prevent possible burns and injuries, do not
touch the thermal heads.
· When the printer is used for extended periods, the
thermal heads experience wear and tear just like VCR
heads. As the thermal heads become worn, print
quality will gradually decrease. When you notice a
decline in quality, it is possible that the heads may
need to be replaced. Consult your JVC dealer.
DUST
Due to dust or lint adhering to print paper, or to
extreme variations in temperature, a small degree of
colour smearing or lines may be visible in prints.
Failure to heed the following precautions may
result in damage to the printer.
1. DO NOT place the printer . . .
... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures
or humidity.
... in direct sunlight.
... in a dusty environment.
... in an environment where strong magnetic fields
are generated.
... on a surface that is unstable or subject to
vibration.
2. DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer.
3. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of
the printer.
4. AVOID violent shocks to the printer during
transport.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC
could void user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Exercise caution when moving the printer. If you
drop the unit, do not attempt to use it. If during use
you notice that the cabinet
is damaged, shut the
printer down, remove
power supply unit it and
contact your JVC dealer.
Use of the printer under
these conditions can lead
to fire or electric shock.
DO NOT place heavy objects on the AC power
adapters cords, or leave the cord near any heat-
generating appliance, as this can damage the cords.
Avoid excessive pulling or twisting of the power
cords. If the power cords
becomes cut or otherwise
damaged, contact your JVC
dealer. When unplugging the
AC power adapter, DO NOT
pull on the cord. Hold the
plug itself and remove it from
the AC outlet. Use of the
printer with a damaged power
cord can lead to fire, electric
shock and unit malfunctions.
DO NOT remove the cover and attempt to repair or
modify the printer. There are high-voltage
components within the
unit, and the risk of
electric shock and unit
malfunctions exists. If a
problem occurs, contact
your JVC dealer.

About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries
apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as
there is a risk of fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery terminals, or
the battery itself, to come in contact with metals, as
this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a
fire.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but possess a
large power capacity. However, when the battery
pack becomes cool in an environment subject to
cold temperatures (below 10°C), the battery pack
has a characteristic that its usage time becomes
shorter and may cease to function. If this happens,
place the battery pack in your pocket or other
warm, protected place for a short time, then re-
attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery
pack itself is not cold, it should not affect perform-
ance.
(If you're using some kind of heating pad, make
sure the battery pack does not come in direct
contact with the pad.)
Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
Battery Packs
The supplied battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery. Before
using the supplied battery pack
or an optional battery pack, be
sure to read the following
cautions:
<Depleting the batteries completely>
1. Turn on the power.
2. Set "save mode" to "off" and remove the batteries
when the power is automatically turned off.
1. To avoid hazard . . .
.... do not burn.
.... do not short-circuit the terminals.
.... do not modify or disassemble.
.... do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the
battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.
.... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... charge in an environment where tempera-
tures are within the tolerances shown in the
chart below. This is a chemical reaction type
battery--cooler temperatures impede
chemical reaction, while warmer tempera-
tures can prevent complete charging.
.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
.... fully charge and then fully discharge the
battery once a year when storing the battery
pack over a long period time.
.... remove from charger or powered unit when
not in use, as some machines use current
even when switched off.
NOTES:
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
