Preparations
Preparing the Power Supply
You can power the camcorder using a battery pack or directly using the compact power adapter. If you connect
the compact power adapter to the camcorder while a battery pack is attached, the camcorder will draw power
from the power outlet.
Charge battery packs before use. For approximate charging times and recording/playback times with a fully
charged battery pack, refer to Charging Times (A 160) and Recording and Playback Times (A 160).
Using a Battery Pack
You can power the camcorder using the supplied BP-955 or an optional BP-950G, BP-970G or BP-975 Battery
Pack. The BP-955 and BP-975 are compatible with Intelligent System, meaning that you can check the
remaining battery time.
Charging the Battery Pack
Charge battery packs using the supplied DC-930 Compact Power Adapter.
Before charging, disconnect the DC cable from the compact power adapter
and remove the terminal cover of the battery pack.
1 If the DC cable is connected to the compact power adapter, disconnect it.
• Charging will not start while the DC cable is connected to the compact
power adapter.
2 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter.
3 Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
4 Attach the battery pack to the compact power adapter.
• Press lightly and slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow until it clicks.
• The CHARGE indicator starts flashing and also indicates the battery pack’s approximate charge. The
indicator will stay on when charging has completed.
0-34%: Flashes once per second
35-69%: Flashes twice per second
70-99%: Flashes 3 times per second
5 When charging has completed, remove the battery pack from the compact power adapter.
6 Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect it from the compact power adapter.
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 (A 155).
