Preparations

TO REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK

BATTERY RELEASE switch

1Slide BATTERY RELEASE in the

direction of the arrow and hold it pressed down.

2Slide the battery pack down and then pull it out.

IMPORTANT

Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. After pressing

ON/OFF to turn off the camcorder, important data is updated on the hard disk. Be sure to wait until the indicator turns off.

We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C. Outside the temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C, charging will not start.

Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the compact power adapter any electrical equipment that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.

To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied compact power adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those

on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.

NOTES

The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.

If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the compact power adapter so the battery pack will not be consumed.

Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.

We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
