NOTES:
● If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove
it first.
● During charging, the camcorder cannot be operated.
● Charging is not possible if the wrong type of battery is used.
● When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a
long storage period, the POWER/CHARGE lamp may not
light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the
camcorder, then try charging again.
● 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.
● Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it
becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-
ventilated areas.
● Using the optional AA-V40 AC Power Adapter/Charger, you
can charge the BN-V408U/V416U/V428U/V438U battery
pack without the camcorder. However, it cannot be used as
an AC Adapter.
