NOTES:

● It is recommended that only genuine JVC

batteries are used in this camcorder. Using
generic non-JVC batteries can cause damage to
the internal charging circuitry.

● If the protective cap is attached to the battery

pack, remove it first.

● During charging, the camcorder cannot be

operated.

● Charging is not possible if the wrong type of

battery is used.

● When charging the battery pack for the first time

or after a long storage period, the POWER/
CHARGE lamp may not light. In this case, remove
the battery pack from the camcorder, then try
charging again.

● 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.

● Since the AC Adapter processes electricity

internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to
use it only in well-ventilated areas.

● Using the optional AA-VF7 Battery Charger, you

can charge the BN-VF707U/VF714U/VF733U
battery pack without the camcorder.

● After 5 minutes has elapsed in Record-Standby

mode with the cassette inserted, the camcorder
will automatically turn off its power supplied from
the AC adapter. In this case, the battery charge
starts if the battery is attached to the camcorder.

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.

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 5 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.
