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.
• 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.
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.
Data Battery System
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 DATA, and the battery status screen 
appears.
● It can be displayed on the viewfinder when the 
LCD monitor is closed.
● It is displayed for 3 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 DATA several times, there may 
be a problem on the battery. In such a case, 
consult your nearest JVC dealer.

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.
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 
turn back if the battery was used for a long period 
of time under extremely high/low temperature 
condition or charged too many times.
To turn on the camcorder, set the Power Switch 
to any operation mode except “OFF” while 
pressing down the Lock Button located on the 
switch. 
Choose the appropriate operation mode 
according to your preference using the Power 
Switch and VIDEO/MEMORY Switch.
