Basic Preparations
IMPORTANT
• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
• Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the compact power adapter any electrical
equipment that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
• Do not connect the supplied compact power adapter to voltage converters or special power sources such
as those on aircraft, DC-AC inverters, etc.
NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C. If either the ambient
temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C, charging will
not start.
• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the compact power adapter so
the battery pack will not be consumed.
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the
day before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
