Charging The Battery Pack

You can charge one battery pack at a time, or two consecutively.

GETTING STARTED

ATTACH

NOTES:

●

If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the

adapter during battery charging, power is

supplied to the camcorder and charging stops.

●

When using the AC Power Adapter/Charger, be

sure to use the supplied power cord only.

●

The AC Power Adapter/Charger is for use with the

BN-V814U or BN-V856U Battery Packs only.

●

When charging the Battery Pack for the first time

or after a long storage period, the Charger

Indicator may not light. In this case, remove the

Battery Pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger,

then try charging again.

●

Since the AC Power Adapter/Charger processes

electricity internally, it becomes warm during use.

Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.

●

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.
