Important!
Use the battery completely before re-chargingT
Before you recharge the battery, make sure the battery has been used up (discharged) completely.
Repeated charging while some capacity remains causes a lowering of battery capacity. However, the
original battery capacity can be recovered if you use the battery completely and charge it fully again.
To use up the battery, remove the cassette and slide the POWER switch to CAMERA with the battery
attached, and leave the camcorder until the __\-3indicator and the red lamp flash rapidly in the
viewfinder.
Removing the Battery Pack

Notes on charging the battery pack
= The POWER lamp will remain lit for a while even if the battery pack is removed and the power cord is
unplugged after charging the battery pack. This is normal.
• If the POWER lamp does not light, set the selector to the center position and disconnect the power
cord. After about one minute, reconnect the power cord and set the selector to CHARGE again.
• You cannot operate the camcorder using the AC power adaptor while charging the battery pack.
