❍ Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C. 20°C to
25°C is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too
cold, charging may be incomplete.
❍ Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.
❍ Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of
the battery pack.
❍ To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Adapter near a radio.
❍ Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes warm
during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.
❍ The following operation stops charging:
• Set the Power Switch to “PLAY”, “
AUTO ” or “ MANUAL ”.
• Disconnect the AC adapter from the camcorder.
• Unplug the AC adapter’s power cord from the AC outlet.
• Detach the battery from the camcorder.
❍ When you use the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight, the LCD monitor
may be difficult to see. If this happens, use the viewfinder instead.
❍ The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.
❍ There may be a delay after you open the cassette holder cover until the
cassette holder opens. Do not use force.
❍ Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it
recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.
❍ When the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed, it may take a few seconds
before actual recording starts. “
” starts rotating when the camcorder
actually starts recording.
❍ The time required to calculate and display the remaining tape length, and the
accuracy of the calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.
❍ “TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off
automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears
when a cassette at its end is loaded.

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
About Batteries
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.)
