Step 1 Preparing the power
supply
After charging the battery pack
Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the DC IN
jack on your camcorder.
Note on the remaining battery time
indicator
The remaining battery time indicator on the
LCD screen/display window or in the
viewfinder indicates the recording time using
the viewfinder. The indicator may not be
correct, depending on the conditions in which
you are recording. When you close the LCD
panel and open it again, it takes about one
minute for the correct remaining battery time
to be displayed.
Notes
• Prevent metallic objects from coming into
contact with the metal parts of the DC plug
of the AC adaptor. This may cause a short-
circuit, damaging the AC Adaptor.
• Keep the battery pack dry.
• When the battery pack is not to be used for a
long time, charge the battery pack once fully,
and then use it until it fully discharges again.
Keep the battery pack in a cool place.
Until your camcorder calculates the actual
remaining battery time
"- - - - min" appears in the display window.
While charging the battery pack, no
indicator appears or the indicator flashes in
the display window in the following cases:
– The battery pack is not installed correctly.
– The AC Adaptor is disconnected.
– Something is wrong with the battery pack.
When using the AC Adaptor
Be sure to use it near the wall socket. If a
malfunction occurs, disconnect the plug from
the wall socket.
