GETTING STARTED
The following steps have the same function as
“REFRESH” ( pg. 6).
1) Attach the battery to the camcorder with no
cassette inserted.
2) Set the Power Switch
$
to “ ” or “ ” while
pressing down the Lock Button
#
.
During charging or discharging, the camcorder
cannot be operated.
Charging and discharging are not possible if
the wrong type of battery is used.
When charging the battery pack for the first
time or after a long storage period, the
CHARGE lamp
%
may not light. Remove the
battery pack from the camcorder, then try
charging again.
If a fully-charged battery’s operation time
remains extremely short, the battery is worn
out. Please purchase a new one.
Perform charging where the temperature is
between 10°C and 35°C. 20°C to 25°C is the
ideal temperature range. If the environment is
too cold, charging may be incomplete.
Charging time varies according to the ambient
temperature and the status of the battery pack.
Since the AC Adapter processes electricity
internally, it becomes warm during use. Be
sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.
Using the optional AA-V15 AC Power Adapter/
Charger, you can charge the BN-V10U/V12U/
V20U/V400U battery pack without the
camcorder.
However, it cannot be used as an AC adapter.
To avoid interference with reception, do not use
the AC Adapter near a radio.
Recording time is reduced significantly when
Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged
repeatedly or the LCD monitor is used
repeatedly.
Before extended use, it is recommended that
you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3
times the planned shooting time.
