OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
The Snow & Rain Jacket is not designed to be waterproof. Do not use it for long hours in snow or rain. Do not install or remove the jacket on or from the Digital Video Camera in grit, snow or rain. Should rain drops or snow flakes attach to the Digital Video Camera�s lens surface, wipe them off with a soft cloth. Otherwise the water drops or snow flakes may be brought into focus and the intended subject may thus be out of focus. Do not use or leave the Snow & Rain Jacket in a place where the temperature may rise abnormally, for example near a fire or heater or in a closed automobile. To prevent surface deterioration, do not wipe the snow & rain jacket with a volatile chemical such as benzine, thinner, alcohol or with a chemical cloth. Be sure to remove the Snow & Rain Jacket from the Digital Video Camera before storing it after use. Noise may enter during zoom operation. Do not turn the video light on. (Only for Digital Video Cameras equipped with a video light ) The video light may heat up and deform the jacket, or set it on fire.
Please note that JVC cannot assume liability for any damage or malfunction to your Digital Video Camera due to rain or grit.
