GETTING STARTED
Power
This camcorder’s 2-way power supply system lets you
choose the most appropriate source of power. Do not use
provided power supply units with other equipment.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
1
Make sure you unplug the camcorder’s DC cord from
the AC Power Adapter/Charger. Plug the AC Adapter/
Charger’s power cord into an AC outlet. The POWER
indicator lights.
2
Remove the battery pack’s protective cap. Attach the
battery pack with its long groove pointing toward the
indicator side of the battery pack mount on the AC
Power Adapter/Charger. The CHARGE Indicator
begins blinking to indicate charging has started.
3
When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but stays
lit, charging is finished.
4
Slide the battery in the opposite direction of the arrow
and lift off. Remember to unplug the AC Adapter/
Charger’s power cord from the AC outlet.

NOTES:
Perform charging where the temperature is between 10° and 35°C. 20° to 25°C is the ideal temperature
range for charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be incomplete.
Charging times noted above are for a fully discharged battery pack.
Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.
To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Power Adapter/Charger near a radio.
If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the adapter during battery charging, power is supplied to the
camcorder and charging stops.
Since the AC Power Adapter/Charger processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to
use it only in well-ventilated areas.
When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the CHARGE indicator may
not light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger, then try charging again.
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.
Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder
temperatures.
About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or
expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a
fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to
come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short
circuit and possibly start a fire.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power
capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold
temperatures (below 10° C), its usage time becomes
shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place
the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected
place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder.
As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not
affect performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack
does not come in direct contact with it.)
