Getting started

CHARGING THE BATTERY

You can charge the battery with the USB cable and power adaptor.

Make sure that you use the supplied USB cable or power adapter to charge the battery. If you use any other power adapter for the camcorder, it will not work properly or the battery may not be charged. It may also cause an electric shock or result in a fire.

To charge the battery with the power adaptor

To charge the battery by connecting to a PC

1Insert the battery into the camcorder. page 19

2Open the jack cover of the camcorder.

3Charge the battery using the USB cable and power adaptor.

•The CHG (charge) indicator lights up and charging starts. When the battery is fully charged, the charging (CHG) indicator turns green. page 21

•Charging the battery at low temperature may take longer or the

battery may not charge fully (The green indicator will not turn on).

•Make sure that there are no foreign substances on the plug or in the socket when you connect the power adaptor to the camcorder.

•When using the power adaptor, place it close to the wall outlet. If you experience a malfunction while using the camcorder, separate the power adaptor immediately from the wall outlet.

•Do not use the power adaptor in a tight space, such as between furnishings.

•Make sure to turn off the camcorder before disconnecting the power adaptor. Otherwise, you can damage the storage media or data.

• When recording indoors with a wall outlet available, it is convenient to use the power adaptor instead of the battery.

•We recommend you charge the battery in a place with an ambient temperature between 50˚F and 86˚F (10°C~30°C).

•If the camcorder is turned on, the battery will still charge, but more charging time will be needed. We recommend you keep the camcorder turned off while it charges.

•You cannot operate the camcorder using USB power only. Use the power adaptor or battery to power the camcorder.

•If you use the camcorder while you are charging the battery, charging may take longer.

•An AC plug adaptor is required in some foreign countries. If you need one, purchase it from your distributor.
