This unit is an AC Adapter Charger designed exclusively for use with JVC DV camcorders.
For detailed operations, refer to the instruction manual for your DV camcorder.
For the safe use of this equipment, be sure to read this instruction manual, the instruction manu-
als of any other equipment in use.
This unit can be used to recharge the BN-V416 or BN-V428 lithium ion battery packs.
This unit can be used to supply AC power from a wall outlet to the equipment.
This instruction calls this unit the "AC Adapter/Charger."
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that is has sufficient space on
all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm (3-15/16") or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes. (If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth
etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or
laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also do not place any containers
filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups etc.)
on top of this unit. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may
be caused.)
This unit stops automatically when excessive noise such as lightning is applied. When this happens
(when the POWER LED goes out), unplug the power cord, leave it for a minute and then plug it in
again. In an environment in which events such as lightning are expected often, use a product such
as a surge absorber, which can be plugged into the AC line and may be purchased, separately from
a store.

SUPPLYING POWER
You can connect the camcorder to an AC outlet
using the AA-P30 AC Adapter/Charger.
1 Connectoneendofthepowercordtothe
AC Adapter/Charger and the other end to
the wall outlet.
2 ConnecttheACAdapter/Chargertothe
camcorder.
MEMO:
Be sure to use the DC cable provided
with the AC Adapter/Charger.
When using the DC cable, make sure to
connect the end of the cable with the
core filter to the AC Adapter/Charger.
The core filter improves the performance
of the equipment.
DURING USE . . .
The AC Adapter/Charger AA-P30 is specifically designed to charge the BN-V416 or BN-
V428 Battery Packs. It cannot be used to charge a BN-V408.
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.
If you connect the DC cable to the DC Connector while a Battery Pack is being charged,
power will be supplied to the camcorder and charging will end incomplete.
Vibration noise can sometimes be heard coming from the inside of the AC Adapter/Charger.
This is normal.
The AC 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.
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.
