About the Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
This camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to retain the date, time and other settings. The
built-in battery is recharged every time you use the camcorder. However, when you use the camcorder
for only short times or do not use it for a period of over 3 months, it will become totally depleted. In that
case, recharge the built-in battery by powering the camcorder from a power outlet and leaving it with the
POWER dial set to OFF for at least 24 hours.
Disconnect the DC coupler from the power adapter when charging a battery pack.
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.
If the adapter is used close to a TV, it may cause picture interference. Move the adapter away from
the TV or the antenna cable.
Do not connect to the power adapter any products not expressly recommended.
If you connect a faulty power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator turns off and the
charging will stop.
The charge indicator informs you about the charge status.
