Charging the Battery Pack
18
IMPORTANT
The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
Turn off the camcorder before disconnecting the compact power adapter.
After turning off the camcorder, important data is updated in the memory.
Be sure to wait until the ON/OFF (CHG) indicator goes out.
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C
and 30 °C . Outside the temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C , charging will
not start.
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.
Do not connect the supplied compact power adapter to voltage converters
or special power sources such as those on aircraft, DC-AC inverters, etc.
NOTES
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.
