NOTES:
● When the rear panel is opened while the power is on, the
power is automatically turned off to protect the data in the
recording medium. To turn on the power again, close the
rear panel and use the power switch.
● It is recommended that only genuine JVC batteries are used
in this camera. Using generic non-JVC batteries can cause
damage to the internal charging circuitry.
● If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove
it first.
● When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a
long storage period, the power/charge lamp may not light. In
this case, remove the battery pack from the camera, then try
charging again.
● If the battery operation time remains extremely short even
after having been fully charged, the battery is worn out and
needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new one.
● Since the AC adapter processes electricity internally, it
becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-
ventilated areas.
Using the Battery Pack
Perform steps 2 – 4 in “Charging the Battery Pack”.

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
camera.
