Charging the Battery
If the power connector is attached to the
adapter/charger, remove its plug.
1. Align the reference arrow on the
battery with the arrow on the
adapter/charger.
2. Hold the battery flush against the
adapter/charger and slide it in the
direction of the arrow.
3. Plug the adapter/charger into the
nearest AC outlet
(100-240V, 50/60Hz).
4. If the battery is properly connected, the
adapter/charger’s CHARGE indicator
will light. When the light goes out, the
battery is fully charged.
Notes: If the POWER indicator on the AC
adapter/charger starts flashing, remove the
adapter/charger’s plug from the AC outlet
for about 30 seconds. Then reattach it. If
after several attempts, the indicator
continues to flash, this means your battery
can not take a charge and must be replaced
with a new one.
The POWER indicator will also flash if a
hot battery is attached to the AC
adapter/charger. Attaching an extremely
hot battery is not recommended. The
battery should be allowed to cool down
before being attached.
5. Remove the charged battery by sliding
it off the adapter/charger.
6. Attach the charged battery to the
camcorder as shown on the next page.
