Step 1: Charging the Battery Pack
IMPORTANT
• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter.
After you turn off the camcorder, important data is updated on the recording media. Be
sure to wait until the green POWER/CHG indicator goes out.
• Do not connect to the camcorder's DC IN terminal or to the compact power adapter any
electrical equipment that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied
compact power adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power
sources such as those on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.
NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C
(50 °F and 86 °F). If either the ambient temperature or the battery pack's temperature is
outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), charging will not start.
• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
• If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack, make sure the
POWER/CHG indicator has gone out before restoring the power supply.
• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the compact
power adapter so the battery pack will not be consumed.
• 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.
