DV-5200HD
The status indicator of the charging cradle will light orange whilst
the battery is charging. When the charging process is completed,
the status indicator will light green. You can then insert the
rechargeable battery into the camcorder. Depending on the charge
level, the charging cycle can take up to 2 hours.
If, after inserting the rechargeable battery, the
indicator remains green, this means the rechargeable
battery is already charged or it is not correctly
inserted. In this case, check the polarity.
You can also charge the camcorder battery by
leaving it in the camcorder and connecting the
camcorder to the computer by using the USB/AV
cable. To do this, proceed as described in steps 1-3
on page 54 – Using the USB Port. If you keep the
camcorder powered off after the USB cable has been
connected to the computer, the battery will charge.
The power indicator (4) will light red to indicate that
the camcorder battery is being charged via the
computer. As soon as the battery is fully charged, the
indicator stops lighting. To charge the battery via the
computer takes approx. 3 hours.
