Getting Started
Charge the battery using the AC power adaptor or the USB cable.
The charging indicator lights up and charging starts. After the battery is fully charged, the charging indicator turns green.
Using the AC power adaptor
Connect the AC power adaptor to the camcorder properly, and then
plug the AC power adaptor in the wall outlet.
Using the USB cable
Connect the USB cable to the camcorder properly, and then connect
the other end to a USB port of a PC.
• Make sure that there are no foreign substances on the plug and
in the socket when you connect the AC power supply to the
camcorder.
• Make sure to turn off the camcorder before disconnecting the AC
power adaptor. Otherwise, you can damage the storage media or
data.
• Use a nearby wall outlet when using the AC power adaptor.
Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet immediately if
any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder.
• Do not place the AC Adaptor in a confined space when you use it,
such as between a wall and a piece of furniture.
• When charging, if both the USB cable and AC power adaptor are
connected, the AC power adaptor will override the USB.
• You cannot operate the camcorder using USB power only. Use the
AC power adaptor or battery to power the camcorder.
• USB charging time may depend on the type of USB host on your
PC.
• If you use the camcorder while you are charging the battery, charging
may take longer.
• Be sure to use the included AC power adaptor to power the
camcorder. Using other AC power adaptors could cause electric
shock or result in fire.
• You can use the AC power adaptor around the world. However, you
will need an AC plug adaptor that matches the design of local wall
outlets in some foreign countries. If you need an adaptor, purchase it
from your distributor.
