First-Time Operation

Charging on the Docking Station

If the camcorder is attached to the Docking Station, the battery pack in the camcorder can be charged automatically and continuously. The Docking Station keeps your camcorder ready to operate at any time.

1 Attach the AC adapter to the Docking Station and insert the AC plug into a power outlet (see page 7).

2 Insert the battery pack in the camcorder (see page 9).

•Make sure that the Power switch is set to OFF. Charging is not possible when the camcorder is in the VCR or Camera mode.

3 Attach the camcorder to the Docking Station with the LCD monitor facing the Docking Station’s LED lamp window side (Q). Then slide the camcorder securing lever on the Docking Station in the direction of the arrow to the lock position (W). Charging starts automatically.

Caution:

•If you remove the camcorder from the Docking Station without first setting the Power switch to OFF while the battery pack is in the camcorder, the power may turn off and not turn on even if you set the Power switch to CAMERA or VCR.

Charging Two Battery Packs at the Same Time

You can charge two battery packs at the same time using the Docking Station unit.

1 Attach the first battery pack to the AC adapter/battery charger.

2 Insert the second battery pack in the camcorder and attach the camcorder to the Docking Station.

•The battery pack on the AC adapter/battery charger will be charged first and then the battery pack in the camcorder will be charged.

•The charge level of the battery pack in the camcorder can be monitored by removing the camcorder from the Docking Station and setting it to Camera or VCR mode.

Note:

•Charging the battery pack fully in the camcorder on the Docking Station will take approximately 11 hours with BB75. If you are in a hurry, we recommend you use the AC adapter.

Removing the Camcorder from the Docking Station

Press the camcorder release button and remove the camcorder.

Note:

•If the camcorder is removed from the Docking Station, the battery pack inside will naturally discharge with time, even after it has been fully charged. We recommend you place the camcorder on the Docking Station even when it is not in use.

Cautions:

•Do not use excessive force with the camcorder and/or Docking Station. Doing so may cause damage or malfunction.

•When installing the camcorder on the Docking Station, be sure to lock it firmly with the securing lever. When removing, hold the camcorder firmly while releasing the lock so that the camcorder will not fall over.
