Charging the Battery
Pack
1
Attach the battery pack on the
camcorder, and make sure that the
Power switch is set to OFF.
2 Open the DC IN jack cover.
3 Insert the DC plug into the DC IN
jack of the camcorder (1), and plug
the AC plug into a power outlet (2).
The POWER/CHARGE (RED)
indicator lights up red.
The POWER/CHARGE (RED)
indicator turns off when the battery is
charged.
4 Remove the DC plug from the DC IN
jack, then remove the AC adapter
from the power outlet.
• The chart specifies the approximate times in
minutes.
Notes:
Charge the battery pack between 50°F and
86°F (10°C and 30°C). The battery pack
may not charge properly at temperatures
too low or too high.
The battery pack and AC adapter become
warm during charging. This is not a
malfunction.
Using the zoom (see page 23) and other
functions or turning the power on and off
frequently will increase power consump-
tion. This may result in a decrease in the
actual recording time compared to the
maximum continuous recording time listed
above.
The charging time and recording time may
vary depending on the ambient tempera-
ture and the condition of the battery pack.
• See pages 98 and 99 for more information on
using the battery pack.
• Charge only SHARP model BT-L226 battery
packs. Other types of battery packs may
burst, causing personal injury and damage.
• When attaching the supplied audio/video/S-
video cable or USB cable, remove the DC
plug, open the terminal cover and connect it.
