NOTES:
● This product includes patented and other
proprietary technology and will operate only
with JVC Data Battery. Use the JVC BN-
VF707U/VF714U/VF733U battery packs. Using
generic non-JVC batteries can cause damage
to the internal charging circuitry.
● 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/
CHARGE lamp may not light. In this case, remove
the battery pack from the camcorder, then try
charging again.
● If the battery operation time remains extremely
short even after having been fully charged, the
battery is worn out and needs to be replaced.
Please purchase a new one.
● Since the AC Adapter processes electricity
internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to
use it only in well-ventilated areas.
● Using the optional AA-VF7 Battery Charger, you
can charge the BN-VF707U/VF714U/VF733U
battery pack without the camcorder.
● After 5 minutes has elapsed in Record-Standby
mode with the cassette inserted, the camcorder
will automatically turn off its power supplied from
the AC adapter. In this case, the battery charge
starts if the battery is attached to the camcorder.

the camcorder's power is turned off. Failure to do so
can result in a camcorder malfunction.

1) Make sure the battery is attached and the
Power Switch is set to "OFF".
2) Open the LCD monitor fully.
3) Press BATT. DATA, and the battery status
screen appears.
● It can be displayed on the viewfinder when the
LCD monitor is closed.
● It is displayed for approx. 3 seconds if the
button is pressed and released quickly, and for
15 seconds if the button is pressed and hold
for several seconds.
● If "COMMUNICATION ERROR" appears
instead of the battery status even though you
tried to press BATT. DATA several times, there
may be a problem on the battery. In such a
case, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
