NOTES:

If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove it first.

During charging, the camcorder cannot be operated.

Charging is not possible if the wrong type of battery is used.

When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the POWER/ CHARGE lamp may not light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the AC Adapter, then try charging again.

If the battery operation time remains extremely short even after having been fully charged, the battery is worn out and needs to be replaced.

Please purchase a new one.

Using the optional AA-V40 AC Power Adapter/ Charger, you can charge the BN-V408U/V416U/ V428U battery pack without the camcorder. However, it cannot be used as an AC Adapter.
