Charging The Battery Pack; Connecting To A Wall Outlet - Sony Handycam CCD-TRV107 Service Manual

Step 1 Preparing the power supply

Charging the battery pack

Use the battery pack after charging it for your camcorder.
Your camcorder operates only with the "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack (M series).
See page 81 for details of the "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack.
(1) Open the DC IN jack cover and connect the AC power adaptor supplied with
your camcorder to the DC IN jack with the plug's v mark facing up.
(2) Connect the power cord to the AC power adaptor.
(3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
(4) Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG). Charging begins. The remaining battery
time is indicated in minutes on the display window.
When the remaining battery indicator changes to
fully charge the battery (full charge), leave the battery pack attached for about one hour
after normal charge is completed until "FULL" appears in the display window. Fully
charging the battery allows you to use the battery longer than usual.

a fully charged battery.
What is the "InfoLITHIUM"?
The "InfoLITHIUM" is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data such as
battery consumption with compatible electronic equipment. This unit is compatible
with the "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack (M series). Your camcorder operates only with
the "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack. "InfoLITHIUM" M series battery packs have the
mark.
"InfoLITHIUM" is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Step 1 Preparing the power supply
Note
Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the DC plug of
the AC power adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC power
adaptor.
Remaining battery time indicator
The remaining battery time you record with the viewfinder is displayed.
The remaining battery time indicator in the display window roughly indicates the
recording time with the viewfinder.
Until your camcorder calculates the actual remaining battery time
"– – – – min" appears in the display window.
While charging the battery pack, no indicator appears or the indicator flashes in
the display window in the following cases:
– The AC power adaptor is disconnected.
– The battery pack is not installed properly.
– Something is wrong with the battery pack.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between
10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
If the power goes off although the battery remaining indicator indicates that the
battery pack has enough power to operate
Charge the battery pack fully again so that the indication on the battery remaining
indicator is correct.

Step 1 Preparing the power supply

Connecting to a wall outlet

When you use your camcorder for a long time, we recommend that you power it from a
wall outlet using the AC power adaptor.
(1) Open the DC IN jack cover, and connect the AC power adaptor to the DC IN
jack on your camcorder with the plug's v mark facing up.
(2) Connect the power cord to the AC power adaptor.
(3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

PRECAUTION
The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (wall outlet) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the set itself has been turned off.
Notes
•The AC power adaptor can supply power even if the battery pack is attached to your
camcorder.
•The DC IN jack has "source priority." This means that the battery pack cannot supply
any power if the power cord is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the power
cord is not plugged into a wall outlet.
•Place the AC power adaptor near a wall outlet.
While using the AC power adaptor, if any trouble occurs with this unit, disconnect the
plug from the wall outlet as soon as possible to cut off the power.
Using a car battery
Use Sony DC Adaptor/Charger (optional). Refer to the operating instructions of the DC
Adaptor /Charger for further information.
