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 AC Adapter, 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.
Using the optional AA-V40 AC Power Adapter/
Charger, you can charge the BN-V408U/V416U/
V428U battery pack without the camcorder.
However, it cannot be used as an AC Adapter.
