Charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed rechargeable
battery to retain the date, time, and other settings
even when the ON/STANDBY switch is set to 1
(STANDBY). The pre-installed rechargeable
battery is always charged while your camcorder is
connected to the wall outlet (wall socket) via the
AC Adaptor or while the battery pack is attached.
The rechargeable battery will be fully discharged
in about 3 months if you do not use your
camcorder at all without the AC Adaptor
connected or the battery pack attached. Use your
camcorder after charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed rechargeable
battery is not charged, the camcorder operation
will not be affected as long as you are not
recording the date.
Procedure
x
Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet (wall
socket) using the supplied AC Adaptor, and leave
it with the power turned off for more than 24
hours.
