The Parts of the Camera: Battery vs. Power Supply
The Camcorder can be powered from a rechargeable battery, or from a provided AC power
supply. The power supply can also be used for recharging the batteries.
Attaching a Battery:
You'll probably do the majority of your
shooting using a battery. Under normal
conditions, you should be able to record
about 3.5 hours on a fully-charged battery.
1) Set the POWER switch to OFF
2) Gently slide the battery into the top of
the slot at the back of the camera.
Slide the battery down in the slot until
you hear a "click" that indicates that
the battery has locked into place.
3) To remove the battery, push the
release button (located just above the
battery) forward, and slide the battery
up and out of the slot.
Using the Power Supply:
For long shoots, or when your batteries are
all exhausted, use the AC Power Supply.
The adaptor attaches to the back of the
camera in the same place as the battery.
1) Attach the plug end of the AC adaptor
cable to the outlet on the front of the
Battery Charger/Power Supply.
2) Set the camera POWER switch to OFF
3) Gently slide the adaptor into the slot
at the lower back of the camera, then
slide down about 1/4".
You should hear a "click" as the
adaptor locks into position in the slot.
4) To remove the adaptor, push the
release button forward, and pull
straight up and out.
NOTE:Please don't pull on the cable
of the power adaptor when removing it
from the Battery Slot!
