Preparing the Power Supply
When the camcorder is off and an Intelligent System-compatible battery
pack is attached, press the BATT. (battery information) button to display the
remaining battery time and available recording time (displays for 5
seconds). Depending on the battery life, the battery information may not be
24
displayed.
IMPORTANT
• Do not connect to the compact power adapter any product that is not
expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between
10 ºC and 30 ºC (50 ºF and 86 ºF). Outside the temperature range of 0 ºC
to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), charging will not start.
• If there is a malfunction with the compact power adapter or battery pack,
the charge indicator will go out and charging will stop.
• For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to Battery
Pack (0 166).
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
• The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is
completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.
• Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. When you are
using the supplied BP-925 or optional BP-955 or BP-975 Battery Pack, you can check the battery life on the
[Battery / Hour Meter] status screen (0 158) or the battery information screen (press the BATT. button while
the camcorder is turned off). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it will give you a more
accurate reading.
• USA and Canada only: The Lithium ion/polymer battery that powers the product is recyclable.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.
