time.
When SET DATE AND TIME is displayed even
when the date and time are set, it means that the
charge of the internal battery is depleted. Do the
following to recharge it.
Reset the date and time when fully recharged.
1
Connect the AC adaptor. (Page 26 of Vol.1)
• Leave the POWER switch at OFF.

Leave the camera-recorder like this for
about 4 hours.
