Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack

Inserting the Battery Pack

1Slide the battery compartment door release on the bottom of the camcorder in the direction of the arrow (Q), to open the battery compartment door (W).

2Insert the battery pack into the compartment (Q), as shown, and push it in completely (W).

Caution:

•Do not force the battery pack into the battery compartment if it does not go in easily.

3Close the door. Be sure to push firmly until it clicks.

Removing the Battery Pack

Perform step 1 above. Then, with the camcorder facing down, press the lock as shown (Q), and remove the battery pack (W).

Cautions:

•BEFORE REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK, ALWAYS STOP THE TAPE AND TURN THE POWER OFF. If you remove the battery pack during recording or playback, the tape will remain wound around the video head drum and may be damaged. Should the power source (battery or adapter) become disconnected during operation, reconnect it again immediately.

•Do not expose the battery compartment door to strong force, as it may come off.

•Be sure to close the battery compartment door firmly, especially during operations. If you do not, the battery pack may come off or camcorder operation may fail because of the poor contact pressure.

•Remove the battery pack from the camcorder or disconnect the camcorder from the AC adapter if the camcorder will not be used for a long time.

•When removing the battery pack, do not tilt the camcorder so that the battery compartment faces down. The battery pack may fall out.

Battery Pack Handling

•Make sure that you take enough battery packs with you to provide two to three times your estimated recording time.

•Recording time will be reduced in cold weather.

•The battery will drain in Recording Standby mode. Turn off the power if you will not be recording again soon.
