How to Handle a CD-ROM
● Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface
(opposite to the printed surface). Do not write
anything or put a sticker on either the front or back
surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it
with a soft cloth outward from the centre hole.
● Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning
spray.
● Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror
surface.
● Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or
humid environment. Keep it away from direct
sunlight.
Serious malfunctioning
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC
dealer.
When requesting repairs for malfunctioning by
your dealer or JVC service centre, be sure to
bring your camera together with the recording
medium. If one of them is not included, the
cause cannot be diagnosed, and the repair
cannot be made properly.
The camera is a microcomputer-controlled
device. External noise and interference (from
a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from
functioning properly. In such cases, first
disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack,
AC adapter, etc.) and wait a few minutes and
then re-connect it and proceed as usual from
the beginning.
