CHARGE MARKER

A charge marker is provided on the battery pack to

help you remember whether it has been charged or

not. Two colours are provided (red and black)—you

choose which one means charged and which

means discharged.

NOTES:

●

The recording time per charge is affected by such factors as the time spent in Record-Standby mode and

the frequency of zooming. It is safer to have spare battery packs.

●

Charging times noted on page 4 are for fully discharged battery pack, and discharging times are for fully

charged battery pack.

●

Charging and discharging times vary according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.

●

Remember to set the charge marker after charging a battery pack or after detaching a discharged one from

your camcorder.

●

Perform the REFRESH function after no less than 5 chargings.

●

While the AC Power Adapter/Charger’s power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet, it is possible to

discharge the battery by pressing the REFRESH switch. During that time, the AC Power Adapter/Charger

does not charge the battery. When disharging is complete, detach the battery from the AC Power Adapter/

Charger to store it.

●

High temperatures can damage the battery pack, so use only where good ventilation is available. Don’t

allow it to discharge in container, such as a bag.

●

If you stop recharging or discharging part way through, make sure to remove the battery pack before

unplugging the adapter’s AC cord.

●

Remove the battery pack from the adapter immediately after discharging.

●

To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Power Adapter/Charger near a radio.

●

Make sure you unplug the DC cord before charging or discharging the battery pack.

●

The CHG. indicator may not light properly with a brand new battery pack, or with one that’s been stored

for an extended period. In this case, remove and reattach the battery pack and recharge it. The CHG.

indicator should blink during recharging. If not, contact your nearest JVC dealer.
