CHECKING THE BATTERY PACK
When the Indicator Lamp (RED) in the Electronic View-
finder flashes while the Video Camera/Recorder is
operated with a Battery Pack (Accessory No.5), it in-
dicates that the battery capacity is insufficient. Then,
charge
it
or replace it with a charged battery pack.
NOTE: Whenever the tape counter or time remaining
display is present in the viewfinder, it appears with a
3-dash read-out indicating the approximate status of
Cameral Recorder battery power. When the battery is
fully charged, the display reads "E - - - F".
When the battery is very near empty, only one dash re-
mains. When the last dash starts blinking, you should
find an alternative power source or recharge the battery
before continuing to use your Cameral Recorder.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
1. Attach the Battery Pack and AC Adaptor to the Bat-
tery Charge Adaptor (Accessory No.7).
NOTE: For attachment align the marks I> on the
Battery Pack and AC Adaptor with them on the Bat-
tery Charge Adaptor so that they are joined together
in the grooves, and slide them downward.
2. Plug the AC Adaptor power cord into AC outlet.
The Charge Indicator Light will flash while the Bat-
tery is accepting a charge, and will light steady when
the Battery is fully charged.
NOTES:
1. The Battery Charge Adaptor permits connection up
to three batteries at the same time. If the two or
three batteries are connected, the batteries are
charged in the numerical
order.
2. The time for one Battery charging is approx. 70
minutes.
3. An optional 2-hour playback Battery may also be
charged.
The time for charging is approx. 140
minutes.
