Getting started
Before using your camcorder, you first need to charge and install the battery pack. To
charge the battery pack, use the supplied AC power adaptor.
Charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack on a flat surface without vibration.
(1)Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
(2)Align the surface of the battery pack indicated by the z mark with the edge of the
terminal shutter of the AC power adaptor. Then fit and slide the battery pack in the
direction of the arrow. The CHARGE lamp (orange) lights up. Charging begins.
When the CHARGE lamp goes out, normal charge is completed. For full charge, which
allows you to use the battery longer than usual, leave the battery pack in place for
approximately one hour. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet, then remove the battery
pack and install it into the camcorder. You can also use the battery pack before it is
completely charged.
