Sony DCR-SR65 manual On the battery pack

On the battery pack

Before changing the battery pack, turn the POWER switch to OFF (CHG) and turn off the (Movie) lamp/ (Still) lamp (p. 17)/ ACCESS lamp (p. 25).

The CHG (charge) lamp flashes during charging, or Battery Info (p. 14) 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 or

the Handycam Station (DCR-SR65/SR85), even when the power cord (mains lead) is disconnected from the wall outlet (wall socket).

When attaching an optional video light, it is recommended that you use an NP-FH70/FH100 battery pack (DCR-SR65/SR85).

We do not recommend using an NP-FH30, which only allows short recording and playback times, with your camcorder.

On the charging/recording/playback time

Times measured when using the camcorder at 25°C (77 ˚F) (10°C to 30°C (50 ˚F to 86 ˚F) is recommended).

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

The available 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 source (mains) is still supplied to it while connected to the wall outlet (wall socket) via the AC Adaptor.
