Step 2 - Mounting the Adapter Plates
Some battery models will require the use of an
adapter plate (A, B or C). Consult the battery chart
in this manual to determine which adapter plate
your camcorder battery requires.
To install the adapter plates -
slide the
central notch on the adapter plate’s upper edge into
the slot on the upper edge of the charging bay
(Fig. 1), then press down firmly on the plate’s lower
edge (Fig. 2).
The plate will snap firmly in place. Install the battery
so the contacts on the battery meet the contacts on
the adapter plate. To remove the plate push down
on the battery/adapter plate latch.

To install the battery -
Align the contacts on your
battery with the appropriate contacts on the charger.
Typically you can install the battery onto the charger
plate the same way you install the battery onto your
camcorder. Follow the guides on the battery and the
charger.
TIP:
For some battery models, you will press the battery
straight down and then slide it up, away from the
indicator light, (Fig. 1). On others you will slide the
battery up and press it down (Figs.2 and 3).
Either way the battery should slide easily into place. If it
does not, do not force the battery into place. Realign the
guides and try again.
