On the battery pack

•Before changing the battery pack, slide the POWER switch to OFF(CHG).

•The CHG (charge) lamp flashes during charging, or the Battery Info (p. 13) will not be correctly displayed under the following conditions.

–The battery pack is not attached correctly.

–The battery pack is damaged.

–The battery pack is worn-out (for Battery Info only).

•The power will not be supplied from the battery as long as the AC Adaptor is connected to the DC IN jack of your camcorder, even when the power cord (mains lead) is disconnected from the wall outlet (wall socket).

On the charging/recording/playback time

•Times measured with the camcorder at 25 °C (77 °F). (10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) is recommended.)

•The recording and playback time will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low temperatures.

•The recording and playback time will be shorter depending on the conditions under which you use your camcorder.

On the AC Adaptor

•Use the nearby wall outlet (wall socket) when using the AC Adaptor. Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket) immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder.

•Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture.

•Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC Adaptor or battery terminal with any metallic objects. This may cause a malfunction.

•Even if your camcorder is turned off, AC power (house current) is still supplied to it while connected to the wall outlet (wall socket) via the AC Adaptor.
