Charging the Battery Pack
20
IMPORTANT
• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. After you turn off the
camcorder, important data is updated on the recording media. Be sure to wait until the green POWER/CHG
indicator goes out.
• When using the AC adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may cause a malfunction.
• 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.
• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, 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.
NOTES
• You cannot charge the optional LP-E6 Battery Pack with the camcorder.
Check the bottom label of the battery pack and make sure it is an LP-E6N
Battery Pack.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C
and 30 °C (50 ºF and 86 ºF). If either the ambient temperature or the battery
pack’s temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C (32 ºF to
104 ºF), charging may take longer than usual or charging may not start.
• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
• If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack, make sure the POWER/CHG 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.
