Before Using
Using the Battery
Before use, fully charge the Battery.
•We recommend using a Panasonic Battery.
•We cannot guarantee the quality of this Camcorder when batteries from other companies are used.
1 Attach the Battery to the AC Adaptor and charge it.
2 Put the Battery on the Battery Mount by aligning the mark, and then securely plug it in.
•Since the Battery will not be charged when the DC Cable is connected to the AC Adaptor, disconnect it from the AC Adaptor.
•The [CHARGE] Lamp lights up, and charging starts.
•When the [CHARGE] Lamp goes off, charging is completed.
•When the battery is completely discharged, the [CHARGE] Lamp blinks at first, but the battery is charged normally. When the temperature of the battery is too high or low, the [CHARGE] Lamp blinks and the charging time becomes longer than usual.
3 Attach the charged Battery to the Camcorder.
Disconnecting the Power Source
Set the [OFF/ON] Switch 26 to [OFF], and while sliding the [BATTERY RELEASE] Switch 37 , remove the Battery downward or DC Cable.
•When attaching or removing Battery, set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF] and make sure the
[POWER] Lamp is not lit.

•The times shown in the table are for continuous recording at a temperature of 25 °C (68 °F) and humidity of 60 %. If the Battery is charged at a higher or lower temperature, the charging time may be longer.

•The available recording time becomes shorter if you use both of Viewfinder and LCD Monitor simultaneously when rotating the LCD Monitor forward to record yourself.
•The batteries heat up after use or charging. The Camcorder being used will also heat up. This is normal.
