Notes:
• 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.
