This camcorder’s 2-way power supply system lets
you choose the most appropriate source of power.
Do not use provided power supply units with other
equipment.

Charging The Battery Pack

1Make sure you unplug the camcorder’s DC cord
from the AC Power Adapter/Charger.
2Plug the AC Power Adapter/Charger’s power cord
into an AC outlet. The POWER indicator lights.
3Attach the battery pack with the YZ mark
aligned with the corresponding marks on the AC
Power Adapter/Charger. The CHARGE indicator
begins blinking to indicate charging has started.
4When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but
stays lit, charging is finished. Remove the battery
pack by pushing up the protruding part.
5Unplug the AC Power Adapter/Charger’s power
cord from the AC outlet.
NOTES:
●If the protective cap is attached to the battery
pack, remove it first.
●If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the
adapter during battery charging, power is supplied
to the camcorder and charging stops.
●When charging the battery pack for the first time
or after a long storage period, the CHARGE
indicator may not light. In this case, remove the
battery pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger,
then try charging again.
●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.

About Batteries

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
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.)
