Charging the Battery Pack
• The battery pack will be charged only when the cam-
corder is off.
• If the power supply was disconnected while charging a
battery pack, make sure the power/charge indicator
has gone out before restoring the power supply.
• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the
camcorder using the compact power adapter so the
battery pack will not be consumed.
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally.
Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last
2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
• You can use an optional battery charger to charge the
battery pack. For details on charging times, refer to
Charging Times (A 300).
• USA and Canada only:
The Lithium ion/polymer battery that powers
the product is recyclable. Please call
1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how
to recycle this battery.
