Charging

This unit is equipped with a built-in battery.

Open the connector cover, and connect the cable as shown in the figure.

C8C Connect Adapter Cable

Caution

The built-in battery is not charged at the time of purchase.

At the time of purchase or in case of the battery is not used for a long period of time, the charging time will be longer than usual.

Charging time: Approx. 5 hours (when charging at 25°C)

The battery cannot be charged outside the room temperature range of 10°C to 35°C. The CHARGE lamp blinks slowly as a notification if charging does not start. If the temperature increases or decreases during charging, the CHARGE lamp will blink slowly and charging will stop. When this occurs, charge the camera again within the above room temperature range.

Using the supplied AC adapter allows charging to be performed concurrently during recording or playback. (Charging time may be longer than usual or charging may not be successful in some cases.) If the internal temperature rises when using the unit, stop the charging temporarily. (The CHARGE lamp blinks slowly when this occurs.)

If malfunctions (such as overvoltage) occur, charging will stop. In these cases, CHARGE lamp blinks quickly as a notification.

During charging, the Battery_full icon on the screen changes to AC Battery to indicate that charging is in progress. (when the provided AC adapter is used)

When the recording time becomes extremely short even when the battery is fully charged, the battery needs to be replaced. For details on replacing the built-in battery (subject to a fee), consult the nearest JVC service center.
