ATTENTION
Before detaching the power source, make sure that
the camcorder's power is turned off. Failure to do so
can result in a camcorder malfunction.
NOTES:
Recording time is reduced significantly under the
following conditions:
• Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged
repeatedly.
• The LCD monitor is used repeatedly.
The playback mode is engaged repeatedly.
•
Before extended use, it is recommended that you
prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the
planned shooting time.
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-V15U AC Power Adapter/Charger
VU-V856 KIT : BN-V856U battery pack & AA-V80U 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.

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.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large
power capacity. However, when one is exposed to
cold temperatures (below 10°C/50°F), its usage time
becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this
happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or
other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-
attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack
itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you're using a heating pad, make sure the battery
pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
