Panasonic HC-X900M owner manual About the AC adaptor, About status indicator during charging, 158

Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.

≥Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 times the period you are planning to record for. Cold places such as a ski resort can shorten recording time.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged.

≥Attaching a battery with damaged terminals can damage the unit.

Do not throw old battery into fire.

≥Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion.

If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.

About the AC adaptor

≥If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, charging may take time or the battery may not be charged.

≥If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the radio.

≥When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

≥After use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)

≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery clean.

About status indicator during charging

When the status indicator is flashing at a particularly fast or slow rate, the following should be considered.

Flashing with approx. 4 second period (off for approx. 2 seconds, on for approx.

2 seconds):

≥When 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.

≥It will flash in approx. 2 second intervals when normal charging resumes. Even in such cases, it may start flashing in approx. 4 second intervals until charging is completed depending on the conditions of use.

Flashing with approx. 0.5 second period (off for approx. 0.25 second, on for approx. 0.25 second):

≥The battery is not charged. Remove the battery from the unit, and try charging again.

≥Check that the terminals of the unit or battery are not dirty or covered with a foreign object, and connect the battery correctly once again. If a foreign object or dirt is present, turn off the unit before removing.

≥The battery or environment is at an extremely high or low temperature. Wait until the temperature has returned to an appropriate level and try charging again. If you are still unable to charge, there may be a fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor.

Off:

≥Charging has finished.

≥If the status indicator stays off despite the charging being unfinished, there may be a fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor.
