NOTES:

●If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the adapter during battery charging, power is supplied to the camcorder and charging stops.

●When using the AC Power Adapter/Charger, be sure to use the supplied power cord only.

●The AC Power Adapter/Charger is for use with the BN-V907U Battery Pack only.

●When charging the Battery Pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the Charger Indicator may not light. In this case, remove the Battery Pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger, then try charging again.

●Since the AC Power Adapter/Charger processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.

●If the battery operation time remains extremely short even after having been fully charged, the battery is worn out and needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new one.

** Charging Environment

Perform charging where the temperature is between 10° and 35°C. (20°–25°C is the ideal temperature range for charging.) If the environment is too cold, charging may be incomplete.

Continuous Shooting

Continuous shooting is possible (See table below for recording time) under the following conditions:

•A BN-V907U Battery Pack is in use

•The temperature is approximately 20°C/68°F

However, . . .

•If the temperature is below 10°C/50°F, or

•If zoom or Record-Standby are engaged or LCD monitor is used repeatedly, continuous shooting capability is reduced significantly. Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.
