CAUTION
• This camcorder is equipped with a waterproof function corresponding to JIS (Japanese
Industrial Standards) IPX8. This camcorder can make recordings in marine water and
fresh water not deeper than 3 m or for not more than 30 minutes. (The waterproof
capability is tested in accordance with JVC test standard and it does not assure
damage-free or trouble-free operation.)
• Do not soak the camera in hot springs or water of 40 °C or higher.
• Do not subject the camcorder to high water pressure such as in torrent or fall, or to
excessive pressure or impact such as by diving with the camcorder in hand.
• The waterproof capability cannot be guaranteed if the camcorder is subject to impact
such as dropping. Consult with the dealer if the camcorder is subject to impact.
• The camcorder sinks in water. Use the strap to prevent it from falling.
• Open and close the cover in a dry place, after wiping moisture off the camcorder.
• Wipe off immediately if such liquids as detergent solution, soap water, hot spring
water, bath agent, oil, sunscreen lotion or chemical liquid are spilled on the
camcorder.
• When used in water, at first, air bubbles may come out of the unit but it is not a

 After use
After use in water or when dusted with sandy dust, rinse the camcorder with fresh
water and dry it well as soon as possible.
1 Press the button for about 1 second to turn off the camcorder.
Make sure that the connector cover is closed tightly.
2 Rinse with fresh water.

Do not rinse with chemicals, soap, neutral detergent or alcohol.

Do not apply current of water such as

tap water directly to this unit.

3 Dry.
Wipe off with a dry soft cloth and dry in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. There may
be water near the microphone. Therefore, aim the camcorder downward and remove the water.
Wiping with some sand remaining can cause a scratch. Wipe after rinsing the sand off.
Also, wipe off strange materials and water drops inside the cover.

CAUTION
• Do not dry with heat such as by using a hairdryer. The waterproof capability will deteriorate.
• Do not leave the camcorder for long time in low temperature environment in cold
climates or in heat of 40 °C or higher (such as under sun light, in a sun-heated car or
near the heater). The waterproof capability will deteriorate.
• After use in marine water, soak in adequate amount of fresh water approximately 10
minutes and rinse with fresh water in order to clean off the salt.
• Do not leave the camcorder soaked in or wet with salt water. It may cause corrosion,
tarnish, or deterioration of water resistance.
• Remove the strap from camera and rinse the strap with fresh water.
• Do not connect cables or charge with water drops remaining.
• JVC cannot be held responsible of any loss of data due to ingress of water into the unit.
• It is recommended to replace the packing (optional) once a year to maintain the
waterproof capability. Consult your nearest JVC service center. (P.52)
