NOTES:

If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove it first.

During charging, the camcorder cannot be operated.

Charging is not possible if the wrong type of battery is used.

When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the Power lamp 0 may not light. Remove the battery pack from the camcorder, then try charging again.

If a fully-charged battery’s operation time remains extremely short, the battery is worn out. Please purchase a new one.

Recording time is reduced significantly when Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged repeatedly or the LCD monitor is used repeatedly.

Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.
