Refreshing a fully charged battery takes approximately 4 hours (VM-BP82G), adding considerable time to battery charging.

With repeated normal charging and use the battery will gradually lose operating time. When operation time becomes too short to be useful, replace the battery.

If the POWER light begins to flash during charging, remove the battery and then reattach it to the AC charger/adapter. If the POWER light continues to flash after several attempts to attach it, the battery is unable to take a charge and must be replaced.

Do not attach a hot battery to the AC adapter/charger. Allow it to cool. Attaching a hot battery to the AC adapter/charger causes the POWER light to flash.

THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE BATTERY OR AC

ADAPTER/CHARGER.

THROWING THE BATTERY INTO FIRE OR EXPOSING IT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT (ABOVE

149°F [65°C]) MAY CAUSE INJURY.

SHORTING THE BATTERY'S TERMINAL INCREASES RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL

SHOCK.

ATTENTION:

The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

Adjusting the Electronic Viewfinder

The electronic viewfinder adjusts simply by pivoting it to a position where it is comfortable and easy to see through. Place the viewfinder back in its original position before storing the camcorder in its case or carrying the camera recorder around to avoid damaging the viewfinder or camcorder.
