•If the CHARGE lamp does not light, disconnect the power cord. After about one minute, reconnect the power cord again.

•You cannot operate the camcorder using the AC power adaptor while charging the battery pack.

•When a fully charged battery pack is installed, the CHARGE lamp will light once, then go out.
