JVC GZ-MG27AA User Manual

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.

● 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.

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.

● Be sure to follow the guidelines below to 

prevent corruption or damage to your 
recorded data.
• Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or 

subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.

• Do not splash the recording medium with water.
• Do not use, replace, or store the recording 

medium in locations that are exposed to strong 
static electricity or electrical noise.

• Do not turn off the camera power or remove the 

battery or AC adapter during shooting, 
playback, or when otherwise accessing the 
recording medium.

• Do not bring the recording medium near objects 

that have a strong magnetic field or that emit 
strong electromagnetic waves.

• Do not store the recording medium in locations 

with high temperature or high humidity.

• Do not touch the metal parts.

● Copy the recorded files to your PC. JVC shall
