On the battery pack
• Before changing the battery pack, slide the
POWER switch to OFF (CHG).
• The power will not be supplied from the battery
as long as the AC Adaptor is connected to the DC
IN jack of your camcorder, even when the mains
lead is removed from the wall socket.
On the charging/recording/playback time
• Times measured with the camcorder at 25°C
(77°F). (10-30°C (50-86°F) is recommended.)
• Available recording and playback time will be
shorter when you use your camcorder in low
temperatures.
• The available recording and playback time will
be shorter depending on the conditions under
which you use your camcorder.
On the AC Adaptor
• Connect the AC Adaptor to an easily accessible
wall socket close by. If any trouble occurs while
using the adaptor, immediately shut off the power
by removing the plug from the wall socket.
• Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow
space, such as between a wall and furniture.
• Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC
Adaptor or battery terminal with any metallic
objects. This may cause a malfunction.
PRECAUTION
• Even if your camcorder is turned off, AC power
(mains) is still supplied to it while connected to
the wall socket via the AC Adaptor.
