SPECIAL DESIGN
Do not short-circuit the jvc battery.Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metaillic object such as a coin,clip,or pen causes direct connection of the positive(+) and negative(-) terminals of the special design battery.(These look like metal strips on the jvc special design).This might happen,for example,wehn you carry a spare camcorder battery in your pocket or purse.Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecing object.
Keep the jvc special design battery contacts clean: Clean your battery's metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your SPECIAL DESIGN battery pack more efficient.
If a replacement special design battery is being used for the first time or if the jvc special design battery has not been used for a prolonged period.it may be necessary to connect the jvc special design battery charger and then disconnect and reconnect it to start the charging.
