Checking the Battery's Charge

A battery charge indicator is located on the upper right corner of the viewfinder. One of three symbols displays when the battery is used.

This symbol indicates a fully charged battery.

This symbol indicates a partially charged battery.

This flashing symbol indicates a battery nearly out of power. Use an alternate power source or charge the battery before continuing to use the camcorder.

Using Alkaline Dry-Cell Batteries

The camcorder can be powered by six alkaline dry-cell batteries inserted into the power supply attachment holder. The continuous operation time of the camcorder depends on the type of alkaline batteries used. Please ensure that CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch is in the OFF position whenever attaching or detaching any power supply (i.e. Battery, AC adapter/charger, etc.)

Note: When alkaline batteries are used to power the camcorder, power is not supplied to the LCD monitor, so you cannot view a picture on the LCD screen.
