FB1260 and FB120 Rechargeable Batteries

These rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries are designed specifically for long life. The FB1260 is a 1-hour battery. The FB120 powers your camcorder approximately twice as long as the FB1260 (depending on how much you use the LCD monitor, zoom, and pause). Both can be recharged with the AC adapter/charger that came with your camcorder.

Using the Optional AC088 Tripod

Mounting the camcorder on a tripod, such as AC088, will keep the camcorder steady and produce excellent video results.

This tripod’s fluid-effect head provides smooth camera pan and tilt. The quick- release mount makes it easy to attach or remove the camcorder. The grooved, tubular 3-section leg design folds down to 26" when not in use. Rubber feet allow for sure footing.

CPS91 AC Battery Charger

The CPS91 battery charger plugs directly into an AC outlet and charges the FB1260 and FB120 camcorder batteries. Because the CPS91 operates on 100-240 Volts, 50/60 Hz, it can be used virtually anywhere in the world. A plug adapter may be required in some countries. Charging takes approximately nine hours for the battery that came with your camcorder, seven hours for the FB1260 (1-hour battery), and 13 hours for the FB120 (2-hour battery).

All specifications and descriptions of accessories are subject to change without notice.

Cautions: Before using a tripod, make sure it is stable enough to hold the camcorder without falling over. Do not transport the camcorder attached to the tripod.

When attaching your camcorder to a tripod, be careful not to force the tripod screw into the camcorder’s tripod mounting hole.

The tripod screw should not protrude into the camcorder more than approximately three-eighth (3/8) inch. Forcing the screw could damage the mounting hole on the bottom of the camcorder.
