Installing and charging the battery pack
Charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack on a flat surface without vibration. The battery pack is charged a
little in the factory.
(1) Open the DC IN jack cover and connect the supplied AC power adaptor to the DC
IN jack with the plug’s 4 mark up.
(2) Connect the power cord to the AC power adaptor.
(3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
(4) Set the POWER switch to OFF. Remaining battery time is indicated by the minutes
on the display window. Charging begins.
When the remaining battery indicator becomes ı, normal charge is completed. For full
charge, which allows you to use the battery longer than usual, leave the battery pack
attached for about 1 hour after normal charge is completed until FULL appears in the display
window.
Before using the camcorder with the battery pack, unplug the AC power adaptor from the
DC IN jack of the camcorder. You can also use the battery pack before it is completely
charged.
