Charging the battery pack
Use the battery pack after charging it for your camcorder.
Your camcorder operates only with the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (L series). If you
want to use the camcorder right away indoors, use on the AC adaptor/charger (p. 15).
(1) Set the mode change switch to “CHARGE.”
(2) Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor/charger.
(3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
A beep sounds and the display window lights up.
(4) Place the battery pack on the AC adaptor/charger with the b mark facing the
terminal shutter.
(5) Slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow.
Press the battery pack until the terminal shutter enters completely into the AC
adaptor/charger.
Charging begins. When the remaining battery indicator becomes and the
CHARGE lamp lights up, normal charge is completed. For full charge, which allows
you to use the battery slightly longer than “normal charge,” leave the battery pack
attached until the CHARGE lamp goes out.
Remove the battery pack when required. It can be used even if the charging is not
completed.
To remove the battery pack
Slide the battery pack in the opposite direction of installing, then lift it straight out.
