ENGLISH
Make a backup of important recorded data
JVC will not be responsible for any lost data. It is recommended to copy your important recorded data to a DVD or other recording media for storage. (Z pg.  44)
Make a trial recording
Before the actual recording of important data, make a trial recording and play back the recorded data to check that the video and sound have been recorded correctly. We recommend you to use the same recording media when performing both the trial recording and the actual recording.
Reset the camcorder if it does not operate correctly
This camcorder uses a microcomputer. Factors such as background noise and interference can prevent it from operating correctly. If the camcorder does not operate correctly, reset the camcorder. (Z pg.  65)
Precautions on handling batteries
• Be sure to use the JVC BN-VF808U/VF815U/VF823U battery packs.• If the camcorder is subjected to electrostatic discharge, turn the power off before using it again.
If a malfunction occurs, stop using the camcorder immediately 
and consult your local JVC dealer
• If a problem occurs when using the SD card, take the card together with the camcorder for repair. If one of them is not included, the cause of the malfunction cannot be \
diagnosed, and the camcorder cannot be repaired.• Recorded data may be erased while the camcorder is being repaired or inspected. Back up all data before requesting repairs or inspections.
Because the camcorder may be used for demonstration in a 
shop, the demonstration mode is set to [ON] by default
To deactivate the demonstration mode, set [DEMO MODE] to [OFF]. (Z  pg.  63)
