Charging the battery
When this unit is purchased, the battery is not charged. Charge the battery fully before using this unit for the first time.
The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adaptor is connected. The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.
Important:
≥Use the supplied AC adaptor. Do not use the AC adaptor of another device.
≥Do not use the AC cable with any other equipment as it is designed only for this unit. Also, do not use the AC cable from other equipment with this unit.
≥The battery can be charged if the unit is turned on.
≥It is recommended to charge the battery in a temperature between 10 oC and 30 oC (50 oF and 86 oF). (The battery temperature should also be the same.)

≥As the charging lamp lights up green, charging starts. It will turn off when the charging is completed.
≥When the charging lamp is flashing at approximately 4 second intervals (off for approx. 2 seconds, on for approx. 2 seconds), the battery is over discharged or the temperature of the battery is too high or low. It can be charged, but it may take a few hours to complete the charging normally. When the charging lamp is flashing at approximately 0.5 second intervals (off for approx. 0.25 seconds, on for approx. 0.25 seconds), the battery is not charged.
∫Connecting to the AC outlet
It is possible to use this unit with power supplied from the AC outlet by turning on the unit with the AC adaptor connected.
When recording for a long time, keep the AC adaptor connected and use it together with the battery. This allows you to continue the recording even if a power failure occurs or the AC adaptor is unplugged from the AC outlet by accident.
≥We recommend using Panasonic batteries (l 11, 20).
