Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

Caution! Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10??C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the Mobile mini note PC. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.

(If you???re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

CAUTIONS

General Battery Precautions

Use only the following batteries:

Please make note of the following rules for battery use. When misused, the batteries can leak or explode.

1.When replacing batteries, refer to page 16.

2.Do not use any different size of batteries from those specified.

3.Be sure to install batteries in the correct direction.

4.Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat as they can leak or explode.

5.Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied

battery pack or anTerminals optional battery pack, be

sure to read the following cautions:

1. To avoid hazards . . .

CC Converter

This is a data-band expansion system JVC has developed for audio applications. It reproduces the timbre of the original sound from high-quality and compressed music data as well.

The CC converter operates as a system filter so that it takes effect regardless of the playback application.

To make the effect valid or invalid or to change the effect level:

1.Open a shortcut of (CC Converter) icon in the task tray (by clicking the right mouse button).

About the expansion effect modes (see next page for details)

About the intensity

(see next page for details)

2. When the menu above appears, click on the desired option.

Cautions

???If you have disabled the effect, the CC Converter icon is shown in monochrome color in the task tray.

???The actual sound playback may slightly be delayed due to processing of playback data.

Explanation of menu options

???Enable

Makes the CC converter processing valid.

???Disable

Makes the CC converter processing invalid.

The following menu options are effective only when you have checked the ???Enable??? option.

About the expansion effect modes

One of the following three effect modes can be selected.

Each has its own special characteristics as described below depending on the frequency band pattern which is to be expanded.

???Harmonic Expansion

Expanding the harmonic components contained in music accentuates the lingering tones and gives the sound an added brilliance. This mode is particularly suited to vocals and music made by acoustic instruments. It can have an effect on almost all genres of music, and it is the mode which is normally used.

???High tone Expansion

Expanding the high-tone components enhances the feeling of the sound???s resolution. It is particularly suited to hard-sounding types of music made by electronic instruments. With rock or pop music, you can enjoy a more lively sound.

???All range Expansion

This provides an expansion effect over all the range contained in the music. Since there is no focus on a particular point to be expanded, the CC converter can have an effect with all types of music.

About the intensity

One of three menu options can be selected as the intensity level of the effect to be exerted by the CC converter. It is recommended that you select the level of intensity that matches the size of the speakers that will reproduce the sound, the performance of the headphones and type of sound data (compressed or non-compressed).

???More presence

The CC converter functions to have the maximum effect.

The ???More presence??? level is suited to playing back compressed music data through the PC???s built-in speakers or other small-sized speakers. With some types of music, the noise may be accentuated in which case the ???Standard??? or ???More natural??? option should be selected.

???Standard

With the ???Standard??? level, the CC converter exerts an effect which is suited to listening to compressed music data through headphones or mini audio components. This is the setting which is normally used.

???More natural

The CC converter functions to reproduce the original sound with the highest possible fidelity. The ???More natural??? level is suited to listening to non-compressed high-quality data through large-sized speakers.

EN 29

???About CC converter

Shows the CC converter version and other information. Click [OK] to close the displayed subwindow.

???Exit

Quits the CC converter. The CC converter status you have set at this point is held. If you wish to restart the CC converter, you can start up the program from the Start menu.

Cautions

???Do not change the sound playback device when you are playing back the sound data (such as an audio file).

???If you have changed the sound playback device, wait five (5) or more seconds before playing back the data.

???The CC converter can process two-channel PCM data only. A sound device may transfer multi-channel data or non-PCM data, but the CC converter cannot process such data.

???If you play back data having a high noise level, the noise may be emphasized.

???Users other than the computer administrator (even if they have the Administrator???s authority) may not change the CC converter setup.

PD-TS decorder
