The adapter can charge a single battery pack from either side, A or B. If you attach two battery packs, charging begins from the battery you first attach to the adapter, or, if the batteries are already attached to the adapter when you plug it into an AC outlet, from the side labeled “A”.

When powering your camcorder from an AC outlet, you do not need to remove battery packs attached to the adapter, but charging will not take place until you remove the DC coupler from the adapter.

Do not connect the power adapter to an unspecified product.

You can find detailed notes for using the batteries in the “Notes on Using the

Batteries” ( 122). These notes include charging and recording times and how to install the backup battery.
