INFORMATION

The extended-use battery pack kit is a set composed of a battery pack andAC 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.

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

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.)
