IMPORTANT
•
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.
•
Do not connect the supplied compact power adapter to voltage converters
or special power sources such as those on aircraft, DC-AC inverters, etc.
NOTES
•
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and
30 °C. If either the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is
outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C, charging will not start.
•
The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
•
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.
