Charge Marker
A charge marker is provided on the battery pack to
help you remember whether it has been charged or
not. Two colors 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 to cover 3 times the plam_ed shooting time.
• Charging times noted on page 8 are for a fully discharged batterypack, and discharging times are for a fully
charged battery pack.
• Charging and discharging times w_ry according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.
• Remember to set the charge marker after charging a batterypack or after detaching a discharged one from
your camcordel:
• 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 discharging 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. Do not
allow it to discharge in a containel, such as a bag.
• If you stop recharging or discharging part way through, make sure to remove the battery pack before
unplugging the adapterts AC cord.
• Remove the battery pack from the adapter immediately after discharging.
e To avoid intelfelence with reception, do not use the AC Power Adapte_/(hat_er near a radio.
• Make sure you unplug the DC cord before charging or discharging the battery pack.
• The CHARGE indicator may not light properly with a brand new battery pack, or with one that has been
stored for an extended period. In this case, remove and mattach the battery pack and recharge it. The
CHARGE indicator should blink during recharging. If not, contact your nearest JVC dealel:
