STORE BATTERY:

Be sure to fully discharge a battery pack by performing the following steps before storing it for a long period of time, otherwise the battery performance will be reduced.

1)Attach the battery to the camcorder with no cassette inserted.

2)Set the Power Switch @ to “ ” or “ ” while pressing down the Lock Button ! located on the switch.

• During charging or discharging, the camcorder

cannot be operated.

• Charging and discharging is not possible if the

wrong type of battery is used.

• When charging the battery pack for the first time

or after a long storage period, the CHARGE lamp

) may not light. Remove the battery pack from

the camcorder, then try charging again.

• If a fully-charged battery’s operation time remains

extremely short, the battery is worn out. Please

purchase a new one.

• 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 incomplete.

• Charging time varies according to the ambient

temperature and the status of the battery pack.

• Since the AC Adapter processes electricity

internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to

use it only in well-ventilated areas.

• The following operation stops charging or

discharging:

• Set the Power Switch @ to “PLAY”, “ ” or “ ”.

• Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.
