About the Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
This camcorder has a 
dial set to OFF for at least 24 hours.
Disconnect the DC coupler from the power adapter when charging a battery pack.
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.
If the adapter is used close to a TV, it may cause picture interference. Move the adapter away from the TV or the antenna cable.
Do not connect to the power adapter any products not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
If you connect a faulty power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator turns off and the charging will stop.
The charge indicator serves also as an indication about the charge status.
More than 75%: Flashes 3 times per second
100%: | Continuously on |
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). The charging time will vary depending on the surrounding temperature and the battery’s initial charge condition.
In cold places the effective usage time of the battery will decrease.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
