Connections & Setup
Turn off the camcorder
1. Set the Power switch to OFF.
2. Close the LCD monitor.
Powering the Camcorder
You can power your camcorder with a battery or AC
power.
Charging the Battery
1. Set the Power switch to OFF.
2. Make sure the battery is attached to the
camcorder. Hook the top end of the battery to
the camcorder and push the battery in until it
locks in place.
Important: If the battery pack is attached in
the wrong position, a malfunction may occur.
3. Plug the small end of the power supply into the
DC IN jack on the camcorder and the other end
into an AC outlet. (The CHARGE indicator
blinks.)
4. When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but
stays on, charging is finished. Make sure the
Power switch is set to OFF, then unplug the
power supply from the AC outlet and from the
camcorder.
Important: Before detaching the power
source, make sure the camcorder’s power is
turned off. Failure to do so can result in a
camcorder malfunction.
