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 174 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 mains lead to the AC power
adaptor.
(3) Connect the mains lead to a wall socket.
(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
, normal charge is completed. 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.

Step 1 Preparing the power
supply
After charging the battery pack
Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the DC
IN jack on your camcorder.
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.

* Approximate continuous recording time at
25°C (77°F). The battery life will be shorter if
you use your camcorder in a cold
environment.
** Approximate number of minutes when
recording while you repeat recording start/
stop, zooming and turning the power on/off.
The actual battery life may be shorter.
