CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
1 Make sure you unplug the camcorder’s DC cord from the AC Power Adapter/Charger. Plug the AC Adapter/ Charger’s power cord into an AC outlet. The POWER indicator lights.
2 Attach the battery pack with the mark aligned with the corresponding marks on the AC Power Adapter/Charger. The CHARGE Indicator begins blinking to indicate charging has started.
3 When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but stays lit, charging is finished. Pull the battery out. Remem- ber to unplug the AC Adapter/Charger’s power cord from the AC outlet.
NOTES:
●Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be incom- plete.
●Charging times noted above are for a fully discharged battery pack.
●Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.
●To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Power Adapter/Charger near a radio.
