NOTES:

●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. In this case, remove the battery pack from the camcorder, 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.

●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.

1.Perform steps 1 through 3 of “CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK”.

2.Press REFRESH on the camcorder for over 2 seconds. The REFRESH lamp on the camcorder blinks to indicate discharging has started.

3.When discharging is finished, charging automatically starts and the CHARGE lamp blinks.

When you are not using a battery pack for a long period of time, be sure to fully discharge it before storing because leaving a battery with some charge left over also reduces performance.
