This camcorder’s 2-way power supply system lets
you choose the most appropriate source of power.
Do not use provided power supply units with other
equipment.

Charging The Battery Pack
1

Make sure you unplug the camcorder’s DC cord
from the AC Power Adapter/Charger.

2

Plug the AC Power Adapter/Charger’s power cord
into an AC outlet. The POWER indicator lights.

3

Attach the battery pack with the YZ mark
aligned with the corresponding marks on the AC
Power Adapter/Charger. The CHARGE indicator
begins blinking to indicate charging has started.

4

When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but
stays lit, charging is finished. Remove the battery
pack by pushing up the protruding part.

5

Unplug the AC Power Adapter/Charger’s power
cord from the AC outlet.

NOTES:

If the protective cap is attached to the battery

pack, remove it first.

If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the AC

Power Adapter/Charger during battery charging,
power is supplied to the camcorder and charging
stops.

When charging the battery pack for the first time

or after a long storage period, the CHARGE
indicator may not light. In this case, remove the
battery pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger,
then try charging again.

If the battery operation time remains extremely

short even after having been fully charged, the
battery is worn out and needs to be replaced.
Please purchase a new one.

About Batteries

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart,
or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals
to come in contact with metals, as this can result in
a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large
power capacity. However, when one is exposed to
cold temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time
becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this
happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or
other warm, protected place for a short time, then
re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery
pack itself is not cold, it should not affect
performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery
pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
