Checking The Battery; Charging The Bai-Rery - Sears LXI series 580.55914490 Owner's Manual

CHECKING THE BATTERY
When the "E F" indication in the viewfinder appears
and flashes while the video camcorder is operated
with a battery (Accessory No. 1) during recording, it
indicates that the battery needs recharging or
replacement with a fully charged battery at this time.
NOTE: Whenever the tape counter or time remaining
display is present in the viewfinder, it appears with a
3-cells read-out indicating the condition of the video
camcorder's battery power. When the battery is fully
charged, the display reads "E- - - F". After some
running time only two cells appear.
When the battery is very near empty, only one cell
remains. When the last cell starts blinking, you
should find an alternative power source or recharge
the battery before continuing to use your video
camcorder.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. Attach the battery pack to the AC adaptor/
charger (battery side) (Accessory No. 2) as
shown at right.
2. Plug the AC adaptor/charger power cord into an
AC outlet, and the charge indicator light will be
illuminated while the battery is accepting a
charge and will go out when the battery is fully
charged.
NOTES:
• The AC adaptor/charger cannot be used to power
the video camcorder while charging the battery
pack.
• The time required for charging the battery is
approx, one hour for 1HR type battery and two
hours for 2HR type battery.
CAUTION:
Charging these batteries on any other charger may
result in over-charging, which reduces battery life.
The battery must be charged for the full one hour
minimum, or until the charge light extinguishes, to
assure normal battery life of one hour play or record
time.
