Cautions

Battery Packs
The supplied battery
pack is a lithium-ion
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" (
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.
Terminals
pg. 67). This is a
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
work properly if the battery was used for a long
period of time under extremely high/low
temperature condition or charged too many times.
