Powering Your Camcorder
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. The adapter/charger’s CHARGE
indicator will light. After the battery
has been used, press REFRESH to
refresh the battery before recharging it.
The REFRESH indicator will light.
After refreshing is completed, the
CHARGE indicator will light and the
battery will charge. When the
CHARGE indicator turns off, the
battery is fully charged.
Notes: The battery will provide longer
performance if you refresh it before each
charging. Refreshing and charging will
take approximately 4-1/2 hours.
If POWER on the adapter/charger starts
flashing, remove the plug from the outlet
for about 30 seconds. Then reattach it. If
after several attempts, POWER continues
to flash, your battery cannot take a charge
and must be replaced.
POWER will also flash if a hot battery is
attached to the adapter/charger. Attaching
an extremely hot battery is not recom-
mended. Allow it to cool down before
attaching it.
5. Slide the charged battery off the
adapter/charger and insert it in the
camcorder as shown on the next page.

Caution:
When a battery
is attached to
the adapter/
charger, do not
turn them
upside down.
The battery
may fall off and
be damaged or
cause injury.
The battery must be charged before it can be used the first time. Initial charging will
take approximately one hour. When fully charged, the battery should supply about
45-55 minutes of operating time (depending on how much you use zoom and pause).
Note: Use the small marker switch on the top of the battery as a reminder to help you remember
to recharge the battery. It has no other function.
