● This product includes patented and other 

● 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.

Perform steps 

2 – 3 in “Charging The Battery 

Pack”.

● 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.
• The LED Light is used.

● Before extended use, it is recommended that you 

prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the 
planned shooting time.

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.

You can check the remaining battery power and 
the recordable time.
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 5 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.
