Your battery pack was partially charged before it left the factory. It should have
enough power for you to check that your camera is working properly. However,
you must charge the battery pack fully if you want it to power the camera for
more than a few minutes.
It is recommended to set the POWER switch to OFF when charging a battery
pack. However, if the POWER switch is set to CAMERA and the camcorder stays
in record pause mode for over five minutes, it will automatically turn itself off and
start charging the battery pack.
If a fully charged battery pack is removed and then re-attached, it will need
another few minutes of charging to reach fully charged status again.
Use only the CA-550 Compact Power Adapter to charge battery packs.
1. Attach the battery pack to the camera.
• Align the triangle on the battery pack with the guide line on the camera.
• Slide it in the direction of the arrow until it clicks into place.
• Be sure to test the battery pack to check that it is properly attached.
2. Connect the power adapter to the camera.
3. Plug the power adapter into a mains outlet.
• The CHARGE indicator flashes to show that charging is in progress. Single
flashes mean that the battery pack is less than 50% charged. Double flashes
mean that it is between 50% and 75% charged. Triple flashes mean that it is
more than 75% charged.
• The indicator glows steadily when the battery pack is fully charged. Battery
pack usage time will be further extended if you continue charging for an
hour after the indicator starts glowing steadily.
• If the indicator flashes once every two seconds, the battery pack could be
defective.
• The indicator will not light at all when the power adapter is defective.
