During charging or discharging, the camcorder cannot be operated.

Charging and discharging 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 CHARGE lamp * 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.

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.

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 or discharging:

Set the Power Switch @ to “ ”, “ ” or “ ”.

Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.

Unplug the AC Adapter’s power cord from the AC outlet.

Detach the battery from the camcorder.

Using the optional AA-V15 AC Power Adapter/ Charger, you can charge the BN-V11U/V12U/ V20U/V400U 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.

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.
