• Is the battery fully charged? Use a fully charged battery.
• The battery protection circuit may have operated. Attach the
battery to the AC adapter for 5 to 10 seconds. If the camera-
recorder still cannot be used, the battery is faulty.

• If you set [POWER SAVE] to [5 MINUTES] and do not
operate the camera-recorder for about 5 continuous minutes,
the power is automatically turned off for tape protection and
power conservation. To resume recording, turn the [OFF/ON]
switch to [OFF]. Then turn it to [ON] again. (
