equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to
reach a power point, then obtain a proper safety approved extension lead/adapter or consult your dealer.
In the unlikely event of the plug fuse failing be sure to replace the fuse only with an identical ap-
proved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If the fuse fails again consult your
nearest JVC dealer.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under
extremely humid conditions-just as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture
condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur,
keep the recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
