Battery Packs
The battery packs are nickel-cadmium
or nickel metal-hydride batteries.
Before using the supplied battery pack
or an optional battery pack, be sure to
read the following cautions:
1. To avoid hazard . . .
...
do not
burn.
...
do not
short-circuit the terminals.
...
do not
modify or disassemble.
... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
...
do not
subject to unnecessary shock.
... avoid repeated charging without fully discharg-
ing.
... charge in an environment where temperatures
are within the tolerances shown in the chart
below. This is a chemical reaction type
battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical
reaction, while warmer temperatures can
prevent complete charging.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to
high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.
... remove from charger or powered unit when
not in use, as some machines use current even
when switched off.
NOTES:
●
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.

Storage ................ –10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F)
●
Recharging time is based on room temperature of
20°C (68°F).
●
The lower the temperature, the longer recharging
takes.

remains extremely hot for some time.
• When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
(1 ft.) between the video light and people or object.
• Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.
• It is recommended that you consult your nearest
JVC dealer for replacing the video light.
When using the AC Power Adapter/Charger in areas
other than the USA
n
The provided AC Power Adapter/Charger features
automatic voltage selection in the AC range from
110 V to 240 V.
USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG ADAPTER
In case of connecting the unit’s power cord to an AC
wall outlet other than American National Standard
C73 series type use an AC plug adapter, called a
“Siemens Plug”, as shown.
