Cautions

Battery Packs

The supplied battery

pack is a lithium-ion Terminals battery. Before using

the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

To avoid hazards

... do not burn.

... do not short-circuit the terminals. When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

... do not modify or disassemble.

... do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

... use only specified chargers.

To prevent damage and prolong service life

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

... charge in an environment where temperatures are within the tolerances shown in “Temperature range specifications” ( pg. 67). 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.

... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.

... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

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.

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature range specifications

Charging: 10°C to 35°C

Operation: 0°C to 40°C

Storage: –20°C to 50°C

The lower the temperature, the longer the recharging takes.

EN 67
