Data Battery System

Using AC Power

You can check the remaining battery power and the recordable time.

1 Make sure the battery is attached and the power switch is set to OFF.

2 Open the LCD monitor fully.

3 Press INFO/ , and the battery status screen appears.

●It is displayed for approx. 3 seconds if the button is pressed and released quickly, and for approx. 15 seconds if the button is pressed and hold for several seconds.

●If “COMMUNICATING ERROR” appears instead of the battery status even though you tried to press INFO/ several times, there may be a problem with your battery. In such a case, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

●The recordable time display should only be used as a guide. It is displayed in 10 minute units.

Perform step 4 in “Charging the Battery Pack”.

NOTE:

The provided AC adapter features automatic voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.

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.

To resume the original function of the accurate battery power indication

If the battery power indication differs from the actual operating time, fully charge the battery, and then run it down. However this function may not turn back if the battery was used for a long period of time under extremely high/low temperature condition or charged too many times.
