About the Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
This camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to retain the date, time and other settings.
The built-in battery is recharged every time you use the camcorder. However, when you use the
camcorder for only short periods or do not use it for a period of over 3 months, it will discharge
completely. In that case, recharge the built-in battery by powering the camcorder from a power outlet
and leaving it with the dial set to OFF for at least 24 hours.
Disconnect the DC coupler from the compact power adapter when charging a battery pack.
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter.
If the compact power adapter is used close to a TV, it may cause picture interference. Move the
compact power adapter away from the TV or the antenna cable.
Do not connect to the compact power adapter any products not expressly recommended for use
with this camcorder.
If you connect a faulty compact power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator turns off and
charging will stop.
The charge indicator serves also as an indication about the charge status.
0-50%: Flashes once per second
50-75%: Flashes twice per second
More than 75%: Flashes 3 times per second
100%: Continuously on
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and
86 °F). The charging time will vary depending on the surrounding temperature and the battery’s
initial charge condition.
In cold places the effective usage time of the battery will decrease.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
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
