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 “

”, “ ” or “ ”.

Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.

Unplug the AC Adapter from the AC outlet.

Detach the battery from the camcorder.

This camcorder will be automatically turned off if its power is supplied from the AC adapter and about 5 minutes pass since it has entered into the recording standby mode with a cassette inserted. If, under those conditions, the battery is attached to the camcorder, its charging will start.

Using the optional AA-V100 AC Power Adapter/Charger, you can charge the BN-V107U/V114U battery pack without the camcorder. However, it cannot be used as an AC adapter.

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

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

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.
