On the battery pack
Before changing the battery pack, slide the
POWER switch to OFF (CHG) and turn off the
(Movie) lamp/ (Still) lamp (p. 8).
The power will not be supplied from the battery
as long as the AC Adaptor is connected to the
DC IN jack of your camcorder or the Handycam
Station, even when the mains lead is
disconnected from the wall socket.
On the charging/recording/playback time
Times measured when using the camcorder at
25°C (77°F) (10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) is
recommended).
The available recording and playback time will
be shorter when you use your camcorder in low
temperatures.
The available recording and playback time will
be shorter depending on the conditions under
which you use your camcorder.
On the AC Adaptor
Use the nearby wall socket when using the AC
Adaptor. Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the
wall socket immediately if any malfunction
occurs while using your camcorder.
Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow
space, such as between a wall and furniture.
Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC
Adaptor or battery terminal with any metallic
objects. This may cause a malfunction.
Even if your camcorder is turned off, AC power
(mains) is still supplied to it while connected to
the wall socket via the AC Adaptor.
