VU-V856KIT EXTENDED-USE BATTERY PACK KIT
INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing this JVC Extended-Use Battery Pack Kit.
● This is a lithium-ion type Battery Pack, and is intended for use only with JVC camcorders.
● Before using, be sure to read these instructions carefully to ensure safe use of your new Battery Pack. For more details, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
● Some camcorders do not display the Battery Pack’s remaining power.
Handling Precautions
● Lithium-ion Battery Packs are small but possess a large power capacity. However, when the
Battery Pack becomes cool in an environment subject to cold temperature (below 10°C), the
Battery Pack has a characteristic that its usage time becomes shorter and 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-insert it into the Battery Pouch. As long as the Battery Pack itself is not
cold, it should not affect performance. (If you’re using some kind of the heating pad, make
sure the Battery Pack does not come in direct contact with the pad.)
● The Battery Packs should be charged at a temperature of 10°C to 35°C. If the Battery Pack is
charged in an environment subject to high temperatures, it may deteriorate. On the other
hand, if the Battery Pack is charged at a cooler temperature, it will not be charged fully.
● It is normal for the Battery Pack to become warm after charging or after use.
● If the Battery Pack is not in use for an extended period of time, natural discharge will occur.
Before use, charge it fully.
● If the Battery Pack’s power duration becomes drastically shortened immediately after charging,
it is run down. Purchase a new one.
● Avoid using strong, volatile cleaning agents such as benzine, alcohol or thinner. This may
damage the Battery Pack’s body or cause a malfunction.
Precautions for proper storage
● When not in use, store the Battery Packs in a cool, dry place where the temperature will not
rise.
● Be sure to remove the Battery Pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger for storage.
Cautions
● The AA-V80EK AC Power Adapter/Charger should be used for charging only. For the
camcorder’s power supply, use the AC Power Adapter/Charger provided with your camcorder.
● Use only the included AC Power Adapter/Charger. Use of another battery charger may result
in incomplete charging, malfunctions and risk of fire.
● Do not incinerate or disassemble; may explode or release toxic chemicals.
● Do not short circuit; may cause burns.
● When transporting, carry the Battery Pack in a plastic bag.
● For more details on handling precautions, use and proper storage of Battery Packs, please refer
to your camcorder’s instruction manual.
● When charging a brand new Battery Pack, or one that’s been in storage for an extended
period, the Charging Indicator may not come on. In this case, remove the Battery Pack, then
reattach and try charging again.
● Vibration noise can sometimes be heard coming from the inside of the AC Power Adapter/
Charger. This is normal.
● The AC Power Adapter/Charger processes electricity internally, and will become warm during
use. This is normal. Make sure to use the AC Power Adapter/Charger in well-ventilated areas
only.
