Installing and charging the battery pack
Charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack on a flat surface without vibration. The battery pack is charged a little in the factory.
(1) Open the DC IN jack cover and connect the supplied AC power adaptor to the DC IN jack with the plug’s 4mark up.
(2) Connect the power cord to the AC power adaptor.
(3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
(4) Slide the POWER switch to OFF. Remaining battery time is indicated by the minutes on the display window. Charging begins.
When the remaning battery indicator becomes ı, normal charge is completed. For full charge, which allows you to use the battery longer than usual, leave the battery pack attached for about 1 hour after normal charge is completed until FULL appears in the display window.
Before using the camcorder with the battery pack, unplug the AC power adaptor from the DC IN jack of the camcorder. You can also use the battery pack before it is completely charged.

Notes
•“– – – min” appears in the display window until the camcorder calculates remaining battery time.
•Remaining battery time indication in the display window roughly indicates the recording time with the viewfinder. Use it as a guide. It may differ from the actual recording time.
•If there is a slight difference in shape between the plug of power cord and the terminal of AC power adaptor, it is ignorable for their mutual connection and power supply.
•Be sure to plug the power cord deeply into the terminal of AC power adaptor so that it is firmly locked. If there is a gap between the plug of power cord and the terminal of AC power adaptor, it does not affect the efficiency of the AC power adaptor.
