battery is used.

● When charging the battery pack for the first time

or after a long storage period, the POWER/
CHARGE lamp may not light. In this case,
remove the battery pack from the camcorder,
then try charging again.

● If a fully charged battery pack is attached to the

unit, POWER/CHARGE lamp will blink for
approx. 10 seconds before it turns off.

● 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.

● Since the AC Adapter processes electricity

internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure
to use it only in well-ventilated areas.

● After 5 minutes have elapsed in Record-

Standby mode with the cassette inserted and no
operation is performed, the camcorder will
automatically turn off its power supplied from
the AC adapter. In this case, the battery charge
starts if the battery is attached to the camcorder.

● Please do not pull or bend the AC adapter plug

and cable. This may damage the AC adapter.

and then run it down. However this method
