Using The Battery Pack; Using Ac Power - JVC GR-DVL150 Instructions Manual

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.
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-V15EG AC Power Adapter/Charger
VU-V856 KIT : BN-V856U battery pack & AA-V80EG AC Power Adapter/Charger
Read the kit's instruction manual before using.
Neither BN-V840U nor BN-V856U can be charged by using the AC Adapter provided with this camcorder. Use only
the AA-V15EG AC Power Adapter/Charger for BN-V840U battery pack and only AA-V80EG AC Power Adapter/
Charger for BN-V856U battery pack. 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), 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.)
