Notes:

If a fully charged battery pack is attached to

the unit, lamp will blink for approx. 10 seconds before it turns off.

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.

Using The Battery Pack

Perform steps 2 3 in “Charging The Battery Pack”.

Notes:

• Recording time is reduced signifi cantly under the following conditions:
