3.Plug the small end of the power supply into the DC IN jack on the camcorder and the other end into an AC outlet. (The CHARGE indicator blinks.)
4.When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but stays on, charging is finished. Make sure the Power switch is set to OFF, then unplug the power supply from the AC outlet and from the camcorder.
Tip
Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.
Important: Before detaching the power source, make sure the camcorder’s power is turned off. Failure to do so can result in a camcorder malfunction.
Notes:
•If a protective cap is on the battery, remove it before use or charging.
•When charging a battery for the first time or after a long storage period, the CHARGE indicator may not come on. Remove the battery and try again.
•Charge the battery in temperatures between 50˚ and 90˚ Fahrenheit
•Charging times are based on a fully discharged battery and vary depending on ambient temperature and battery condition.
