NOTES:
●
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.

Maximum continuous recording time
NOTES:
●
Recording time is reduced significantly under the following
conditions:
• Zoom or record-standby mode is engaged repeatedly.
• Playback mode is engaged repeatedly.
●
Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare
enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned
recording time.
Using AC Power
Connect the AC adapter to the camera as shown in the
illustration. (

NOTE:
The provided AC adapter features automatic voltage selection
in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.
ATTENTION:
●
Before detaching the power source, make sure that the
camera’s power is turned off. Failure to do so can result in a
camera malfunction.
●
If a malfunction occurs by electrostatic discharge, the power
source should be terminated to reset the device.
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/50°F), 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.
