bNotes

•The power will not be supplied from the battery pack when the AC Adaptor is connected to the DC IN jack of your camcorder, even if its power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

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

•The CHG (charge) lamp flashes during charging, or the battery information will not be correctly displayed in following conditions.

–The battery pack is not attached correctly.

–The battery pack is damaged.

Using an outside power source

You can use the AC Adaptor as the power source (house current) when you do not want the battery to run out. While you are using the AC Adaptor, the battery pack will not lose its charge even when it is attached to your camcorder.

PRECAUTION

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

Connect your camcorder as shown in “Step 2: Charging the battery pack” (p. 13).
