Attaching and Charging the Battery Packs
Your battery pack has been partially charged before it left the factory. It
should have enough power for you to check that your camcorder is working
properly. Charge the battery pack fully if you want it to power the camcorder
for more than a few minutes.
Always turn the camcorder off before connecting/removing the battery.
1. Set the POWER switch to OFF.
2. Attach the battery to the camcorder.
• Remove the battery pack’s terminal cover.
• Align the edge of the battery pack with the line on the camcorder, press
lightly and slide it in the direction of the arrow until it clicks into place.
3. Connect the power cord to the adapter and plug it into a
household power socket.
4. Connect the power adapter to the camcorder.
• The charge indicator flashes red to show that charging is in progress.
Single flashes mean that the battery pack is less than 50% charged.
Double flashes mean that it is more than 50% charged. The indicator
glows steadily when the battery pack is fully charged. If the indicator
blinks rapidly and continuously (twice a second), the battery pack may
be defective.
• When the CHARGE indicator flashes, the battery pack is being charged
even if the POWER switch is set to a position other than OFF.
5. When charging is complete, disconnect the power adapter
from the camcorder, unplug the power cord, and disconnect
the power cord from the adapter.
