❍Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C. 20°C to 25°C is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be incomplete.

❍Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.

❍Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.

❍To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Adapter near a radio.

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

❍The following operation stops charging:

•Set the Power Switch to “PLAY”, “ AUTO ” or “ MANUAL ”.

•Disconnect the AC adapter from the camcorder.

•Unplug the AC adapter’s power cord from the AC outlet.

•Detach the battery from the camcorder.

➪TAPE RECORDING (☞ pg. 16, 17)

❍When you use the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight, the LCD monitor may be difficult to see. If this happens, use the viewfinder instead.

❍The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.

❍There may be a delay after you open the cassette holder cover until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.

❍Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.

❍When the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed, it may take a few seconds before actual recording starts. “ ” starts rotating when the camcorder actually starts recording.

❍The time required to calculate and display the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.

❍“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette at its end is loaded.

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.

(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
