About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries
apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as
there is a risk of fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery terminals, or
the battery itself, 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 possess a
large power capacity. However, when the battery
pack becomes cool in an environment subject to
cold temperatures (below 10°C (50˚F)), the battery
pack has a characteristic that its usage time
becomes shorter and 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 perform-
ance.
(If you’re using some kind of heating pad, make
sure the battery pack does not come in direct
contact with the pad.)
Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
Battery Packs
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:
<Depleting the batteries completely>
1. Turn on the power.
2. Set “power save” to “off” and remove the
batteries when the power is automatically turned
off.
1. To avoid hazard . . .
.... do not burn.
.... do not short-circuit the terminals.
.... do not modify or disassemble.
.... do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause
the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.
.... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... charge in an environment where tempera-
tures are within the tolerances shown in the
chart below. This is a chemical reaction type
battery—cooler temperatures impede
chemical reaction, while warmer tempera-
tures 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 once a year 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.
NOTES:
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
Temperature Range Specifications
Charging .................10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)
Operation ...............0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage ...................–10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F)
Recharging time is based on room temperature of
20°C (68°F).
The lower the temperature, the longer recharging
takes.

Serious malfunctioning
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
The printer is a microcomputer-controlled
device. External noise and interference (from a
TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from function-
ing properly. In such cases, first disconnect its
power supply unit (battery pack, AC Power
Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and then re-
connect it and proceed as usual from the
beginning.
