Preparations

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

•Turn off the camcorder before charging the battery pack. The battery pack will not charge while the camcorder is on.

•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.
