Notes:

If a fully charged battery pack is attached to the unit, POWER/CHARGE lamp will blink for approx. 10 seconds before it turns off.

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.

Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.

After 5 minutes have elapsed in Record- Standby mode with the cassette inserted and no operation is performed, the camcorder will automatically turn off its power supplied from the AC adapter. In this case, the battery charge starts if the battery is attached to the camcorder.

Please do not pull or bend the AC adapter plug and cable. This may damage the AC adapter.

To Detach The Battery Pack

Slide the battery pack while pressing BATT. to detach it.

Notes:

Recording time is reduced signifi cantly under the following conditions:

Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.
