INFORMATION:

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

Neither BN-V840U nor BN-V856U can be charged by using the AC Adapter provided with this camcorder.

Use only the AA-V15U AC Power Adapter/Charger for BN-V840U battery pack and only AA-V80U AC

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.)

Open the cover.
