NOTES:
● If the protective cap is attached to the battery
pack, remove it first.
● During charging, the camcorder cannot be
operated.
● Charging is 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 POWER/
CHARGE lamp may not light. In this case,
remove the battery pack from the camcorder,
then try charging again.
● If a fully charged battery pack is attached to the
unit, POWER/CHARGE lamp will blink for
approx. 10 seconds before it turns off.
● If the battery operation time remains extremely
short even after having been fully charged, the
battery is worn out and needs to be replaced.
Please purchase a new one.
● Since the AC Adapter processes electricity
internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure
to use it only in well-ventilated areas.
● After 5 minutes have elapsed in Record-
Standby mode with the cassette inserted and no
operation is performed, the camcorder will
automatically turn off its power supplied from
the AC adapter. In this case, the battery charge
starts if the battery is attached to the camcorder.
● Please do not pull or bend the AC adapter plug
and cable. This may damage the AC adapter.

terminals to come in contact with metals, as

power indicator

actual operating time, fully charge the battery,
and then run it down. However this method
may not work if the battery was used for a long
