❍Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.
❍If the adapter is used close to a TV, it may cause picture interference. Move the adapter away from the TV or the antenna cable.
❍Do not connect any products that are not expressly recommended to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the power adapter.
❍You may hear some noise from the power adapter during use. This is not a malfunction.
❍Do not disconnect and reconnect the power cord while charging a battery pack. Charging may stop. The battery pack may not be charged correctly even if the CHARGE indicator glows steady. The battery pack may also not be charged correctly when a power outage occurs during charging. Remove the battery pack and attach it back to the camcorder.
❍When the power adapter or battery pack is defective, the CHARGE indicator flashes rapidly (at about 2 flashes/second) and charging stops.
❍The CHARGE indicator informs you about the charge status.
More than 50%: Flashes twice every second
100%:  | Glows steadily  |
