Charging the Battery Pack
• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or discon-
necting the compact power adapter. After turning off
the camcorder, important data is updated in the mem-
ory. Be sure to wait until the green power/charge indi-
cator goes out.
• Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to
the compact power adapter any electrical equipment
that is not expressly recommended for use with this
camcorder.
• When inserting the battery pack, do not force it in to the
battery compartment as this may cause damage.
• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heat-
ing, do not connect the supplied compact power
adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or
special power sources such as those on aircraft and
ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in tempera-
tures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). If
either the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s
temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to
40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), charging will not start.
• If the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s tem-
perature is low, charging may take longer than usual.
