• There is no guarantee that there will be no damages when the unit is used within the above-mentioned limits.
  Scratches and dent caused by the impact if the unit is dropped, or other changes in appearance are not included in the warranty.
• Malfunction due to mishandling will void the warranty.
• Before use in water, be sure to read and understand the "Before Using Underwater or under Low Temperature" (E§p. 6).
• Close the terminal cover firmly until it clicks and confirm that the red sign completely goes off.
• Make sure that there is no damage to and no foreign material adhered to the packing inside the cover.
• Use within a water depth of 5m (16.4 ft) and a duration of 1 hour.
• The waterproof performance cannot be guaranteed if the camcorder is subject to impact such as dropping.
• Do not jump or dive into water holding the camcorder.
• Do not use the camcorder in strong water flows such as in rapids or under waterfalls. The strong water pressure may impair the waterproof performance.
• Do not immerse into hot spring, or hot water above 40°C (104°F).

Before Using Underwater or under Low Temperature

"Cautions on Using Underwater" (p. 6)

"Maintenance after Use" (p. 7)

"Cautions on Using under Low Temperature" (p. 7)

Cautions on Using Underwater

Please take note of the followings when using this unit near water or underwater.

• Ensure that the cover is closed tightly.
  "Opening the Terminal Cover (SD Card Cover)" (p. 4)
• Ensure that the terminal cover and the gray waterproof seal are not damaged and that there are no foreign materials (such as hair, lint, sand or dust) adhered on the cover.
• Stop using the unit underwater if there are damages to the cover, etc. and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest service center.

- Use within a water depth of 5m (16.4 ft) and a duration of 1 hour.

• Do not open/close the cover or insert/remove an SD card or any cables while using underwater or on the beach, or if your hands contain water droplets or sands. Doing so may cause water to enter into the camera or malfunction.
• Do not subject the camera to high pressure or vibration resulted from swift current, waterfall or diving into water.
• The waterproof performance is not guaranteed if the camera is dropped or subjected to other impact shock. If the camera has been subjected to impact shock, consult your nearest service center.
• While shooting underwater, noise generated inside of the camera (zooming sounds, etc) may be picked up. This is not a malfunction.
• Do not immerse into hot spring, or hot water above 40°C (104°F). Doing so deteriorates waterproof performance.
• Keep away from hands with sun oil or sun screen. Doing so may cause discoloration or deterioration of material.
• This unit sinks underwater. Fasten the grip belt firmly to prevent losing the camera underwater.
• The accessories are not waterproof.
• Do not use the lens filter or conversion lens underwater or at locations where there is water.

Maintenance after Use

After using underwater or in dusty places, rinse the camera with water immediately and dry it completely.

1 Ensure that the terminal cover is closed.

2 Rinse with clean water.

Soak the camera in a container filled with enough water to immerse the camera completely, and rinse it gently.

• After using the camera under the sea or on the beach, immerse the camera in fresh water for about 10 minutes to remove salt particles, replace the water and rinse the camera.
• Open and close the LCD screen, and operate the buttons or zoom operations to get rid of sands or dusts in the gap.

3 Dry the camera.

Wipe the camera completely with a soft dry cloth and allow it to dry in a well-ventilated and shady location.

• Place the camera with the lens facing downward while the LCD monitor is closed, and leave it for approximately 10 minutes. (By doing so, microphone and LCD part are dried out easily.) Place the camera in a up right position on a dry cloth afterward Close the terminal cover after the camera is dried out completely.
• Wipe off any foreign materials or water droplets inside the cover.

* If you leave the camera immersed in salt water or allow water droplets from the salt water to remain on the camera, this may cause corrosion, discoloration or deterioration of waterproof performance.
* If you wipe or dry the camera with sand particles adhered, this may cause scratches on the camera.
* Do not wash with chemicals, soap, neutral detergents, or alcohol.
* Do not dry the camera with a hair dryer or other heat sources. This could impair its waterproof performance.

Cautions on Using under Low Temperature

• The performance of the battery will drop temporarily when the temperature is -10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), this will cause the remaining recording time to shorten.
• Charging cannot be performed when the surrounding temperature is below 10°C (50°F).
• Turning on the camera while it is still cold will deteriorate the performance of the LCD monitor. Problems such as the screen becoming dark momentarily or residual image can occur.
• If snow or water droplets adhere to the camera under sub-zero temperature environment, ice can formed between the gaps around the buttons, speaker or microphone. This will cause difficulty in operating the buttons as well as decrease in the volume level.
• Direct contact with exposed metal part under cold temperature can cause the skin to stick on the metal part resulting in injuries such as frostbite. Do not touch with bare hands.

Other Precautions

• Do not leave the camera under low temperature in cold climates or under high temperature above 40 °C (such as under direct sunlight, inside a vehicle in the hot sun, or near a heater). This will cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.
• Malfunction due to mishandling will void the warranty.
• We are not responsible for any loss of data due to water entering into inside of the camera. Please be forewarned.
• It is recommended to replace the waterproof packing once a year to maintain the waterproof performance. Consult your nearest service center. (Subject to a fee)

The inside of the lens is foggy.

Open the terminal cover; close the LCD monitor and leave as is for a while to reduce the temperature.

Preventing fogging inside the lens

\- Models with waterproof function are airtight. When the temperature rises during recording, condensation can occur inside the lens due to the internal humidity.

■ During recording

To prevent the temperature of this unit from rising, we recommend that you use the unit in the following ways. 1 Avoid frequent exposure to direct sunlight. Record under the shade or use an umbrella. Best if you could keep a wet towel cover the unit. 2 The use of a tripod is recommended. Long hours of recording while holding the unit in your hands will cause the temperature of the unit to rise. 3 It is better to leave the terminal cover open while recording. However, the waterproof, dust-proof and shockproof features do not function in this condition. Do take note of the environment when using the camera. (Do not use a wet towel.) 4 Make sure to turn off the power when you are not recording. When the LCD monitor is closed, the unit turns off.

■ During charging

It is recommended to charge the unit in a low humidity environment. The moist air inside the unit can cause condensation. We recommend that you charge the unit in a room where humidifier is not in use, and in an air-conditioned room during summer.
