Before Using Underwater or under Low
Temperature
This section describes the precautions and methods of maintenance when
using the unit underwater or under low temperature conditions.
“Cautions on Using Underwater” (A p. 18)
“Maintenance after Use” (A p. 18)
“Cautions on Using under Low Temperature” (A p. 18)
“Other Precautions” (A p. 18)
Cautions on Using Underwater
Please take note of the followings when using this unit near water or
underwater.
0
Ensure that the cover is closed tightly.
“Opening the Terminal Cover (SD Card Cover)” (A p.
5)
0
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.
0
Stop using the unit underwater if there are damages to the cover, etc.
and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest service center.
0
Use
the camera within a water depth of 5 m and a duration not longer than
1 hour.
.
Within 1 hour
Within Water
Depth of 5 m
0
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.
0
Do
not subject the camera to high pressure or vibration resulted from swift
current, waterfall or diving into water.
0
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.
0
While shooting underwater, noise generated inside of the camera
(zooming sounds, etc) may be picked up. This is not a malfunction.
0
Do not immerse into hot spring, or hot water above 40°C (104°F). Doing
so deteriorates waterproof performance.
0
Keep away from hands with sun oil or sun screen. Doing so may cause
discoloration or deterioration of material.
0
This unit sinks underwater. Fasten the grip belt firmly to prevent losing the
camera underwater.
0
The accessories are not waterproof.
0
Wi-Fi function is not available underwater.
0
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.
.
0
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.
0
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.
0
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.
0
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
0
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.
0
Charging cannot be performed when the surrounding temperature is
below 10°C (50°F).
0
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.
0
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.
0
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
0
Do
not leave the camera under low temperature in cold climates or under
high temperature above 40 °C (104 °F) (such as under direct sunlight,
inside a vehicle in the hot sun, or near a heater). This will cause
deterioration of the waterproof performance.
0
Malfunction due to mishandling will void the warranty.
0
We are not responsible for any loss of data due to water entering into inside
of the camera. Please be forewarned.
0
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)

Security of Wireless LAN
An advantage of wireless LAN is that instead of using a LAN cable, it
transmits information using radio waves, thus enabling LAN connection
to be established within the area covered by the radio waves. However,
as
radio waves penetrate through objects (such as walls) within the range
that they cover, security issues, such as interception of transmission or
illegal access, may arise if security settings are not configured.
Before you connect to the network in a wireless LAN environment, read
through the instruction manual for the wireless LAN device in use, and
configure the security settings accordingly. Failure to do so may increase
the risk of personal information being intercepted, such as user names,
passwords, and the content of your mails, or illegal access to the network.
0
Due to the design of wireless LAN, note that security may be breached by
unusual or unforeseeable means.
0
For more details on wireless LAN and network security, please consult the
manufacturer of your wireless LAN device.
0
JVC shall not be liable for any security issues, troubles, damages or losses
arising from the use of this feature.

Bluetooth devices
Equipment such as the above mentioned devices makes use of the same
frequency bandwidth as that of Wi-Fi.
Using this product near the above equipment may cause radio wave
interference, and result in communication failure or a drop in communication
speed. In this case, turn off the power of devices that are not in use.
o
Avoid using this product near a TV or radio set.
TV or radio sets make use of a radio wave frequency bandwidth that is
different from that of Wi-Fi, and therefore has no effect on communication
by this product or the TV/radio set.
However, when a TV/radio set is placed close to a Wi-Fi product,
electromagnetic waves emitted by the Wi-Fi product may cause noise to

How to Establish a Wi-Fi Connection
“Ways of Wi-Fi Connection” (A p. 78)
“Preparing for Connection” (A p. 79)
“Connecting” (A p. 79)
Ways of Wi-Fi Connection
There are three ways of connecting the camera to devices such as a
smartphone, tablet terminal or PC.
Direct Connection
0
The camera can be connected to devices such as a smartphone, tablet
terminal or PC directly via Wi-Fi.
.
Local Area Network (LAN) Connection
0
The camera can be connected to devices such as a smartphone, tablet
terminal or PC within the same Local Area Network (LAN).
“What is Local Area Network (LAN)?” (A p. 78
)
.
* An access point (wireless LAN router) is needed for this mode of
connection.
“What is an access point?” (A p. 78)
Internet Connection
0
The camera can be connected to devices such as a distant smartphone,
tablet terminal or PC via the Internet.
.
* An Internet connection with a global IP address and an access point
(wireless LAN router) that is compatible with UPnP are needed for this
mode of connection.
“What is global IP address?” (A p. 78
)
“What is UPnP?” (A p. 78)
“What is an access point?” (A p. 78)
Network-related Terminology
o
What is an access point?
An access point refers to a device that makes use of Internet connections
wirelessly.
Some common examples include wireless LAN routers and Wi-Fi routers,
which come with a function for sharing a single connection among multiple
devices.
For Internet connections such as fiber-optic Internet and cable TV that are
connected
wirelessly, a wireless LAN router (or devices with a wireless LAN
router function, such as a modem) is used.
o
What is Local Area Network (LAN)?
While a wireless LAN router allows multiple devices to make use of a single
Internet connection, it is possible for devices that are connected to the same
wireless LAN router to communicate with one another.
Communication in this case is carried out independently of the Internet
connection, and is referred to as a Local Area Network (LAN) connection.
o
What is global IP address?
The Internet connection that we are using either makes use of a global IP
address or a local IP address.
A local IP address cannot be accessed from an external source, and thus
cannot be used for Internet connections.
If you are unsure of the type of Internet connection that you are using, please
consult your Internet service provider.
o
What is UPnP?
UPnP, which is the abbreviation of “Universal Plug and Play”, is a function
of wireless LAN routers.
This function can be used to grant limited access from external sources,
which is otherwise prohibited.
To find out whether the wireless LAN router in use supports UPnP, please
refer to the instruction manual or product catalog of the wireless LAN router.
If the UPnP function of a Wi-Fi router can be enabled or disabled, select
“Enable”.

AC adapter other than the one supplied is not covered in the warranty.
Check the connection, followed by disconnecting and reconnecting the
power bank cable.
Charging cannot be performed under low or high temperature
environments. Charge under the room temperature range of 10°C to 35°C
(50°F to 95°F). (Under environments beyond the temperature range,
charging may stop to protect the battery pack.)
