    Why is the indicating lamp not blinking during charging of my JVC GY-HM100U?
    • D
      Darryl CoxAug 21, 2025
      Check the remaining battery power. The indicating lamp stops blinking when the battery is fully charged. When charging the battery in a hot or cold environment, ensure that the temperature is within the allowable operating temperature range. Charging may stop to protect the battery if the temperature is outside the allowable range.
