Getting started
Charging and installing the battery pack
Before using your camcorder, you first need to charge and install the battery pack. To charge the battery pack, use the supplied AC power adaptor.
This camcorder operates with the “InfoLITHIUM” battery. If you use any other battery to operate your camcorder, the camcorder may not operate or the battery life may be shortened.
“InfoLITHIUM” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
Charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack on a flat surface without vibration.
(1) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
(2) Align the surface of the battery pack indicated by the zmark with the edge of the terminal shutter of the AC power adaptor. Then fit and slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow. The CHARGE lamp (orange) lights up. Charging begins.
When charging is completed, the CHARGE lamp goes out. If the battery pack is used right after the CHARGE lamp goes out, it will last for a normal period (normal charge). If allowed to charge for an additional hour or so, the battery pack will last for a longer period (full charge). Unplug the unit from the wall outlet, then remove the battery pack and install it on the camcorder. You can also use the battery pack before it is completely charged.
