Charging the Battery
Pack
1
Attach the battery pack to the
camcorder, and make sure that the
Power switch is set to OFF.
2
Connect the supplied power cord to
the AC power socket on the AC
adapter, and insert the AC plug into a
power outlet.
3
Insert the DC plug into the DC IN
jack of the camcorder.
• The POWER/CHARGE (RED)
indicator lights up red.
• The POWER/CHARGE (RED)
indicator turns off when the battery is
charged.
4
Remove the DC plug from the DC IN
jack, then remove the AC adapter
from the power outlet.
• The chart specifies the approximate times in
minutes.
Notes:
•
Charge the battery pack between 10°C and
30°C. The battery pack may not charge
properly at temperatures too low or too
high.
•
The battery pack and AC adapter become
warm during charging. This is not a
malfunction.
•
Using the zoom (see page 21) and other
functions or turning the power on and off
frequently will increase power consump-
tion. This may result in a decrease in the
actual recording time compared to the
maximum continuous recording time listed
above.
•
The charging time and recording time may
vary depending on the ambient tempera-
ture and the condition of the battery pack.
• See pages 72 and 73 for more information on
using the battery pack.
• Charge only SHARP model BT-L227 battery
packs. Other types of battery packs may
burst, causing personal injury and damage.
• When attaching the supplied audio/video/S-
video cable, remove the DC plug, open the
terminal cover and connect it.
