supply to the camcorder.
Fully charge the battery pack before use.

For recording indoors with available wall outlet, it is convenient to use the AC power supply instead of the battery pack.
It is recommended to charge the battery pack in a place with ambient temperature of 10°C ~ 30°C.
For charging, connecting both USB cable and AC power adaptor simultaneously will have the same effect
as using the AC power adaptor only.
Even with the power is switched on, battery pack will still charge with the AC power adaptor or USB cable.
But you need more charging time when the power is on. It is recommended you to keep the camcorder
turned off while charging.
