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.

mode with the cassette inserted, and no operation
is performed (

indicator may not
appear), 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.
