INFORMATION:
The extended-use battery pack kit is a set composed of a battery pack and AC Power Adapter/Charger:
VU-V840 KIT: BN-V840U battery pack & AA-V15 AC Power Adapter/Charger
VU-V856 KIT: BN-V856U battery pack & AA-V80 AC Power Adapter/Charger
Read the kit's instruction manual before using.
Neither BN-V840U nor BN-V856U can be charged by using the AC Adapter provided with this camcorder.
Use only the AA-V15 AC Power Adapter/Charger for BN-V840U battery pack and only AA-V80 AC Power
Adapter/Charger for BN-V856U battery pack. Also, by using the optional JVC VC-VBN856U DC Cord, it will
be possible to connect BN-V840U or BN-V856U battery packs to the camcorder and supply power directly
to the camcorder.
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.
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
camcorder. 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.)
