blinking to indicate charging has started.

3 When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but stays lit, charging is finished. Slide the battery and lift off. Remember to unplug the AC Adapter/Charger’s power cord from the AC outlet.

NOTES:

●If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove it first.

●Perform charging where the temperature is between 10° C and 35° C. 20° C to 25° C is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be incomplete.

●Charging times noted above are for a fully discharged battery pack.

●Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.

●To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Power Adapter/Charger near a radio.

●If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the adapter during battery charging, power is supplied to the camcorder and charging stops.

●Since the AC Power Adapter/Charger processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.

●When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the CHARGE indicator may not light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger, then try charging again.

●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.

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10° C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.

(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
