again.
NOTE:
The provided AC adapter features automatic voltage
selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.
● 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.
● Using the optional AA-V200 battery charger, you
can charge the BN-VM200U battery pack without
the camera.
ATTENTION:
● Before detaching the power source, make sure
that the camera’s power is turned off. Failure to do
so can result in a camera malfunction.
● If the camera is a subject to electrostatic
discharge, turn the power off before using it again.
● Since the AC adapter processes electricity
internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to
use it only in well-ventilated areas.
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.
Using the Battery Pack
Perform steps 2 – 4 in “Charging the Battery
Pack”.

The Benefits of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Battery pack
Recording time
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a
large power capacity. However, when one is
exposed to cold temperatures (below 10°C), 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 camera.

NOTES:
● Recording time is reduced significantly under the
following conditions:
• Zoom or record-standby mode is engaged
repeatedly.
• Playback mode is engaged repeatedly.
● Before extended use, it is recommended that you
prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the
planned recording time.

● To prevent damage and prolong service life
...do not subject to unnecessary shock.
...charge in an environment where temperatures are
within the tolerances shown in the chart below.
This is a chemical reaction type battery — cooler
temperatures impede chemical reaction, while
warmer temperatures can prevent complete
charging.
Recording Medium
● Be sure to follow the guidelines below to
prevent corruption or damage to your
recorded data.
• Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or
subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.
• Do not splash the recording medium with water.
• Do not use, replace, or store the recording
medium in locations that are exposed to strong
static electricity or electrical noise.
...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
every 6 months 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.
• Do not turn off the camera power or remove the
battery or AC adapter during shooting, playback,
or when otherwise accessing the recording
medium.
• Do not bring the recording medium near objects
that have a strong magnetic field or that emit
strong electromagnetic waves.
• Do not store the recording medium in locations
with high temperature or high humidity.
• Do not touch the metal parts.
● Copy the recorded files to your PC. JVC
shall not be responsible for any lost data. (It
is recommended that you copy the data
from your PC to DVD or other media for
storage.)
NOTES:
● It is recommended that only genuine JVC
batteries are used in this camera. Using generic
non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the
internal charging circuitry.
● It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
