INFORMATION

The extended-use battery pack kit is a set composed of a battery pack and AC Power Adapter/Charger:

VU-V840 KIT : BN-V840U battery pack & AA-V15EK AC Power Adapter/Charger

VU-V856 KIT : BN-V856U battery pack & AA-V80EK AC Power Adapter/Charger

Read the kit's instruction manual before using. Also, by using the optional JVC VC-VBN856U DC Cord, it will be possible to connect BN-V840U or BN-V856U battery packs to the camcorder and supply power directly to the camcorder.

NOTES:

●If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove it first.

●During charging, the camcorder cannot be operated.

●Charging is not possible if the wrong type of battery is used.

●When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the Power lamp 0 may not light. Remove the battery pack from the camcorder, then try charging again.

●If a fully-charged battery’s operation time remains extremely short, the battery is worn out. Please purchase a new one.

●Recording time is reduced significantly when Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged repeatedly or the LCD monitor is used repeatedly.

●Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.
