SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR
SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION:
nTo prevent shock, do not open the cabinet.
No user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel.

EN-3
Warning on lithium cell battery
The battery used in this device may present a
fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do
not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C
or incinerate.
Replace battery with Panasonic (Matsushita
Electric), Sanyo or Maxell CR2025; use of
another battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
nDispose of used battery promptly.
nKeep away from children.
nDo not disassemble and do not dispose of
in fire.
CAUTION (applies to the Docking Station):
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER–
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVIC-
ING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
NOTE:
● The rating plate (serial number plate) of the
Docking Station is on its bottom.
This unit is produced to comply with
Standard IEC Publ. 65.

EN-4
CAUTION! Attaching the camcorder to the
Docking Station, connecting cables (AUDIO/
VIDEO, S-VIDEO, Editing, DC) and leaving the
unit on top of the TV is not recommended, as
tripping on the cables will cause the camcorder to
fall, resulting in damage.
About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries
apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat,
as there is a risk of fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery terminals,
or the battery itself, to come in contact with
metals, as this can result in a short circuit and
possibly start a fire.
• When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap
is attached to the battery. If you misplace the battery
cap, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

EN-5
Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
Keep the battery in a pocket when not in use, or
use the provided power grip.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are small yet have a large
power capacity. However, if exposed to extreme
cold (below 10°C), the effective operational time
decreases significantly. Exposure to temperatures
below 0°C will render the battery inoperative. If
you are planning to shoot in an environment at
these temperatures, carry the battery in a pocket
to keep it warm, then attach it just prior to
recording. The provided power grip is also
recommended. It holds two batteries, and keeps
them sufficiently warm even at an outside
temperature of 0°C.

EN-6
CAUTIONS
BEFORE USE
●To avoid malfunctions, short circuits, battery
leakage, excessive heat and possibly fire . . .
..... DO NOT allow the DC Plug to come in
contact with metal objects or surfaces.
..... DO NOT use the Power Grip with any
appliance other than the GR-DVJ70.
..... DO NOT attempt to modify the case in any
way.
..... DO NOT dispose of the case in excessive
heat or fire with the BN-V714U Battery Packs
inside.
..... DO NOT store the Power Grip in direct
sunlight or near a radiator or other heat-
generating appliance (where the temperature
is above 80°C).
..... DO NOT attempt to use the Power Grip if it
or the BN-V714U Battery Packs become wet.
DURING USE
●Make sure to remove the battery cap.
●The battery may become warm after charging or
after use. This is normal.
●When attaching the Power Grip to the GR-DVJ70,
make sure the attachment screws are securely
tightened.
WHEN NOT IN USE
●Store the Power Grip in a dry, climatically
stable environment.
●Detach the Power Grip from the GR-DVJ70 and
remove the battery from the case before storing.
Replace the GR-DVJ70’s connector cover.
Battery Packs
The BN-V714U Battery
Pack is a lithium-ion
battery. Before using the
battery pack, be sure
to read the following
cautions: Terminals
Cap
Battery

EN-7
1. To avoid hazard . . .
..... do not burn.
..... do not short-circuit the terminals.
..... do not modify or disassemble.
..... use only specified chargers.
2.
To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
..... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
..... charge in an environment where
temperatures are within the tolerances
shown in the chart below. This is a
chemical reaction type battery—cooler
temperatures impede chemical reaction,
while warmer temperatures can prevent
complete charging.
..... store in a cool, dry place. Extended
exposure to high temperatures will
increase natural discharge and shorten
service life.
..... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.
..... remove from charger or powered unit
when not in use, as some machines use
current even when switched off.
3. To prevent damage to the camcorder . . .
..... replace the battery pack when it begins to
deliver less recording time per charge.
NOTES:
● Recharging time is based on room temperature
of 20°C.
● The lower the temperature, the longer recharg-
ing takes.
● It is normal for the battery pack to be warm
after charging, or after use.

EN-10
The Power Grip enables extended continuous shooting, and makes shooting possible even at 0°C.
Lithium Ion batteries are vulnerable in the colder temperatures of winter. Their effectiveness is drastically
reduced at temperatures below 10°C, and they will normally not function when the temperature is
below 0°C. In such an environment, use the Power Grip.
