NOTES:

If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the AC Charger Station during battery charging, power is

supplied to the camcorder and charging stops (pg. 10).

When using the AC Charger Station, be sure to use the supplied power cord 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 Charger Station, then try charging again.

Since the AC Charger Station 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.

INFORMATION:

The AC Charger Station (provided) enables you to charge not only one battery pack but also one battery pack installed in the camcorder (pg. 53).
