Set the Power switch to OFF.
Make sure the battery is attached to the
camcorder. Hook the top end of the battery to
the camcorder and push the battery in until it
locks in place.
Important: If the battery pack is attached in
the wrong position, a malfunction may occur.
Plug the small end of the power supply into the
DC IN jack on the camcorder and the other end
into an AC outlet. (The CHARGE indicator
blinks.)
When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but
stays on, charging is finished. Make sure the
Power switch is set to OFF, then unplug the
power supply from the AC outlet and from the
camcorder.
Important: Before detaching the power
source, make sure the camcorder's power is
turned off. Failure to do so can result in a
camcorder malfunction.
Notes:
• If a protective cap is on the battery,
remove it before use or charging.
• When charging a battery for the first
time or after a long storage period, the
CHARGE indicator may not come on.
Remove the battery and try again.
• Charge the battery in temperatures
between 50˚ and 90˚ Fahrenheit (10-35˚
Celsius).
• Charging times are based on a fully
discharged battery and vary depending
on ambient temperature and battery
condition.
